Commercial Description:
A mildly hopped beer with a complex malt character, and a soft creamy head. Soft and fruity with light yeast esters of apricot and orange. It is a refreshing and crisp session beer, with just enough hops to balance and round out the sweetness of the malt. 34 IBU 1.048 OG

Words like "refreshing" and "lightly hopped", when they appear in the brewers description, are usually code words for "lame". This was a pleasent surprise. There was a persistant hop presence, and a grainy malt flavor. In this case Pike's signature sour/tart finish serves the beer well. Not bad at all.

Golden colour with a fairly fruity cascade type of aroma. Sweet grapefruit/orange aroma with some toffee malts. Light crystal malt. Flavour is well-balanced. Lots of hop flavour. I’d like a bit more bitterness, but it is well-made. Nice session beer.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a hazy golden yellow with weak white head. Aroma of fruit, lemon, hops. Flavor is good, malt, fruit, slight citric tang, with a nice hop bitter....Light body with high carbonation. Not bad, would make a good summer beer.

On tap at Pike Brewery. Nice light refreshing summer beer. Good golden color, some light hop character. Finishes clean. Good lawnmower beer.

2008 Bottle - Pours a light tan with little head. Nice carbonation, citrus and hay aroma, very light taste that still delivers a decent bitter end, not a bad beer...

Bottle at Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary, AB. Pours a golden straw colour with a 2 finger foamy white head. Aroma of weat, grass, and faint hints of citurs and nuts. Flavour is sweet, a bit watery and earthy. Normal mouthfeel. This is a good beer and is much better than the Seattle Pale Ale in my opinion. WOuld drink again if I get the chance.

Hazy burnt orange, spotty patches of bubbles float on the top, this beer looks good. Citrusy hops, and a abundance of peppery spices dominate the smell, caramely malts are detectable but seem to get pushed to the back and aren’t as dominant as I would like them to be. Hoptastic flavor, grape fruit hops are abundant but not over powering, caramel tasting malts make up the body of this brew, it also has a candy like sweetness, clean finish with no after taste. Overall very drinkable and is a high quality brew.
