Jan 4, 2009 If this could be my baseline pale ale, I would be happy. A little over-carbonated and lacking the flavor punch, but definately enjoyable. A decent beer and worth a try...may be a segway to the hop.

Jan 4, 2009 Draft at Bottleworks. Pours a nice golden color with a fluffy head. Lively carbonation, though not prickly. Nose is fresh hops, I get a sense that this may have used some of the Simcoes that made it into the underwhelming harvest ale. Aside from that, I sense there’s also some form of C-hop, or at the least an off shoot. Taste is a fresh bitterness and a touch of cattyness with a nice citric note and chunky malts to hold it up. Pretty tasty daily drinker.

Dec 30, 2008 Golden-orange with a big cakey head. Medium body, lightish carbonation. Malts were mildly sweet, like cake without much sugar. Hops seemed kind of one-dimensional. Citric-tannic bitterness. Being dry hopped and all, I was a bit disappointed with the hop aromas. Unbalanced and underwhelming.

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Slightly hazy orange, thick white head that reduced by half-glass point to a really thin head. Nice lacing. Aroma is big, grapefruit and a bit of grass. Initial taste is grapefruit, apple, decays to sweet grapefruit. Big mouthfeel, sweet malt. Carbonation a bit on the sharp side. A nice beer.

Nov 29, 2008 Reviewed 11/15/2008 (Tap Sampler @ Schlafly Tap Room, St. Louis, MO):
Pours a very clear light brown body, with a big creamy white head that is very lasting. Dark grapey aroma, dusty, malty. Fruity taste, some sweet maltiness, a little nutty. Dark grape taste. Soft mouthfeel. Some hoppiness, but mostly a malty taste.

Nov 28, 2008 TN tasting at maniac’s. Pours almost a clear orange with big white head. Floral hop with a touch of grassy hop nose. flavor is better than their pale ale. Flavor has a little grapefruit hop as well. A little bitterness in the finish. Not bad.

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle from Dave. Thanks! Pours orange with a small white head. Nose is dry and hoppy, rather juicy. Flavor has lots of citrus--orange and grapefruit, but little character or depth. Fresh but just okay.
