Bottle poured into a duvel tulip.
Aroma is solid, but not spectacular. Subtle, but still very nice. Mostly floral.
Excellent bitterness, mango on the sides, sort of indistinct hop flavor, but still very nice. Feels a bit muddled, but still tasty. Lots of pine. Balanced, like all SN beers.

Dec 24, 2009 Quite similar to the pale. Nose is piney. Lovely orange beown pour with fluffy head. In the mouth it is a bit subdued but caramelly with citric and pine notes. Decent but nothing spentabulous.

Dec 24, 2009 2009 release. Pours a hazy dark gold with a thick of-white head. Citrus hop and biscuit aroma. Flavor has a decent bitterness, but really nothing special. Definately not as good as I was expecting.

Dec 21, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased as part of a mix a six at Lukas in Kansas City, Missouri. 2009 Version. Pour is slight haze golden orange with a big 3 inch off white head. Head is lasting, as it slowly falls, it leaves behind nice lacing. Aroma of soft citrus and pine hops, nice earthy mineral aspect to the back. Some grainy malt present, though certainly behind the hop. Nice, clean, though subdued nose. Taste has the resin citrus and earthy mineral of the nose, with a faint backbone of the grain. Nice showcase for the hops, nice fresh bright and cleanly bitter taste. Palate is medium to thin with active carbonation. Easy drinking and refreshing beer. Nice.

Dec 19, 2009 Nice and crisp, but boring. Definitely didn’t notice anything special here that wasn’t already a part of their pale ales. Very drinkable though.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). Came with a nice big ice cream head. A little hokey pokey in the nose. A nice bitterness on the lick - with a creamy hoppiness, allowing the malt to still come through. A lingering bitterness that nearly had me eating the cone...

Dec 18, 2009 Poured from a 12oz bottle it’s has a strong but nice floral and citrus aroma with a touch of pine. It’s appearance is a hazy tea color with a minimal white head, The taste is a little bitter with a lively citrus taste. with a long finish that stays on your mouth. Over all i thoughtit was a nice refreashing beer and would recommend it for a try.
