Picked up single 12-oz bottle at Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington. Pours a clear golden amber brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaaves behind a white ring . Aroma of ligh bready malt, some grapefruit zest, flowery hops and a touch of biscuit. Taste is light to medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a bready and citrus zest flavor. Finish is slighly bitter that has a lingering bitter aftertaste.

8/18/2007: Pike Naughty Nellie is a nice golden copper color and has a mild to moderate amount of carbonation. The frothy off-white head leaves behind finely speckled lacing. The aroma is a nice orangy citrus with some light toasty malt. The flavor contains a light amount of toffee malt balanced by a mild to moderate level of citrus and pine hop flavor and bitterness. The body is medium-light to medium, but can come across as a tad thin from time to time. This is an easy to drink beer with characteristics similar to those of a good pale ale.

Draught (pint) at Milano’s in Glacier, Washington. Rating #96 for this beer...

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear orange color. Head was off white and left some decent lace behind. Aroma was of light citrusy hops and graham cracker. Tasted of pine needles and grainy malt with mild to moderate hop bitterness. i liked this one.

Draft at brewpub. Pours amber golden with a white head. Aroma of wet grains and fruity esters. Medium bodied with a crisp refreshing texture. Initial flavor of pale malts and apple countered by a sharp grassy bitterness. Very astringent like character on the finish.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated orange colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The nice flavor contained notes of malt and piney hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Draught sample at brewpub. Light fresh hops aroma with very light malt and grains. Golden amber clear with white foamy lacing head. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts with good grainy taste, fresh hops, and smooth bitter finish. Light sweet beany after. Quite refreshing, and a very nice session beer on tap.

Pours a medium gold with a thin white head that faded fast. Aroma was yeasty, barnyard hay malt, slight fruity hoppiness under that. Flavour was pretty standard I guess...Earthy malt flavour, which I thought lacked depth. light bitter finish. Would be good as a ’drinking beer’ out of the bottle at the cottage/mowing the lawn...etc.

From a 12 o bottle out a six pack that cost $7.49 from Market of Choice in Ashland, Oregon it pored a hazy gold with medium white head that was quickly gone with a little lacing. Nose was light malts and hops, with a hint of fruit. Mouthfeel was smooth and medium bodied. Flavor of fruits and hops, and a nice slightly bitter finish. Very easy to drink.
