Nov 8, 2009 12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours clear gold with a small white head that leaves some light lacing behind. Hoppy aroma with citrus, grass, pine, and honey. The flavor follows suit, hoppy, earthy, citrusy, and bitter. Light bodied, well-balanced, and crisp. Straightforward, excellent example of the style.

Nov 7, 2009 Clear golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma is citrus, grass, earth, mandarin, sap, evergreen resin. Its hard to get past the hop character- which is fantastic- but sweet caramel malt is just on the other side. Flavor is sweet honey and caramel malt with a robust hop character that rears its resinous head with orange and spruce. Palate is full for the style, but remains delicately effervescent and smackingly hoppy. Caressing and delicious- at the apex of its style.

Nov 7, 2009 Clear gold pour, minimal head. Aroma holds tons of tangerine and grapefruit, honey, tree sap, pine resin, and tons of other hop characteristics. Tough to get past the hops to the malt; perhaps a bit of caramel and other sweet malt. Flavor is marked by a combination of American and English hops; aroma really reminded me of a big IPA, but the flavor betrays its English roots. Excellent bitterness, flavors are toned down from the aroma, but still very tasty; lots of evergreen and citrus still. Palate is light, smooth, and very drinkable; would love to put down a 6 pack of this stuff. Really nice brew, one of my favorite ESBs in recent memory.
