Sep 27, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a clear, light amber with a thin head of off-white foam that showed some decent retention. Solid lacing covered the entire glass. The aroma was made up of bright citrus and apricot, along with a light underlying note of caramel. Smells really fresh, but not overpowering. The flavor was moderately bitter, featuring mild grapefruit, apricot, caramel, and also some lightly toasted bread. A hint of mildly astringent orange peel started to creep in towards the end of the glass. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and lightly carbonated. Slightly sticky. Overall, this was a really nice beer. Quite tasty and sessionable.

Sep 26, 2008 Really good. Nice hop aroma/flavor. Bitterness is not overpowering. There is a solid resinous flavor, without a lingering bitterness on the palate. Well balanced, clean, crisp, a very well done harvest ale.

Sep 24, 2008 Picked up at the United Liquors in Frankfort, IL: This pours a clear yellow/gold body with a frothy white head that performs heavy lacework. It has a solid aroma of floral and citrus zest hops smells over a lightly sweet grainy malt. The bitterness from the hops is quite pronounced in the flavor, overshadowing the sweetness from the grains. Dry bitter finish. Nice.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottle: Pours a nice golden with good clarity and a strong/creamy white head. The aroma is a nice mix of American & British hop varieties- crispy citrus cascade bouquet and some crackery dried malt in the back. Has a nice creamy texture. The flavor has an interesting malt character offering cracker and peanut skins. Crisp American hops come through with a spicy citrus notes and zest. The finish leans toward the British hop varieties with a mild herbal note into the solid bitter ending. Very nice stuff.
