Oct 3, 2009 Draft at brewery. Tea-amber color, wispy white head. Nose is rather thin with light citrus, grass, and caramel malt. The flavor shows hints of bitter hop and more grass, also a surprisingly heavy dose of yeast and gum. Sticky body with a creamy, yeasty finish, light biscuit with warmth. An odd combo.

Sep 30, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy amber/brown with a white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, and caramel malts. Flavor of the same citrus/caramel and sweet malt. Good APA, practically an IPA.

Jan 4, 2009 Sample Platter. Light grass hop aroma. Slight head, golden red in color. Hoppy with a strong malt background hints of citrus. Smooth and oily, but with a strong bitter malt aftertaste.

Nov 23, 2007 Draft, Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. Pours a bright, clear golden-orange color; thin off-white head. Relaxed, resiny orange and citrus hop character in the aroma. Relaxed carbonation; oily, resiny orange and floral hops upfront; solid wet hop character with some oiliness and minimal rough bitterness; quite smooth; nice jolt of citrus bitterness on the tip of the tongue. Medium, resiny orange and sugar finish.

Oct 28, 2007 Pint at Selins Grove. Unfiltered amber colored, cloudy body. Lightly grassy hop oil nose, main scents of pine, sap, canola and pine nuts. Wet, fresh, oily, then crisp over the middle. Very good, but not fantastic. A good slightly dry pale ale, with a nice straightforward hop flavor.

Nov 21, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Nice malty sweetness with a very fresh hop flavor. One of the best beers I’ve had anywhere. I can’t wait to go back for more.

Dec 27, 2005 On cask at brewpub, 2005 version 5.5% ABV. Poured a dark copper, thick creamy off-white head, almost no visible carbonation. Light floral hop aroma with some sweet malt beneath. Flavor wise, the hop profile is as mongrel as the description would indicate. Not bad, but rather lacking in definition. Lightly malty base. Light to medium bodied with a wonderful cask conditioned mouthfeel. Not a bad beer overall, but lacks a little definition. Much better though then when I had it on draft a month before. Cask conditioning when fresh and well taken care of can really do wonders.

Nov 24, 2004 Golden copper-amber, slight fusel Sharpie (c) smell with mix of floral, apricot-jelly aromas--kind of like a fruit scented gel candle, but less artifical and more like something you’d want to put in your mouth. Small, fine, dimishing head. Sweet, apricot-honey beginning with a grassy, floral hop bite ending. Peachy notes. Interesting and tasty.
