May 4, 2009 Bottle. Poured translucent honey amber, almost an inch of white frothy head, produced a good amount of lacing. Aroma was of honey, slightly mellon, apple, light citrus, maple, herbal, lemon zest, and salt water - overall very delicate. Flavor was honey, apple, pear, sweet mellon-citrus, soapy bitterness from the hops. Palate was water but had a slightly resinous finish. Definitely not extraordinary.

May 2, 2009 (bottle) Medium gold with white head. Citrus hops aroma. Flavor is mild citrus/grassy hops with mild hops. Could use more body.

May 2, 2009 Aroma is hoppy with some grass and citrus. Clear, golden coloured beer with a thin head. The taste is citric, grassy with a hopbitter finish. Uninteresting, but reasonable brewing.

May 1, 2009 355ml bottle (Hilpea Hauki, Helsinki) - shared with Mirjukka and Janne - thanks!
Pale yellow, no head. Tangerine, mandarin and peach aroma. Caramel too. Slightly watery but nicely wheaty body. Hops quite assertive in the taste, a bit sticky. Hoppy finish is big, but OK. The wheat lives on in the finish too. Quite crisp and refreshing. The hoppy finish is long, long, long.

Apr 28, 2009 A local place keeps these in stock. Very drinkable, nice balance of flavors of sweet grain and some mellow hops. Great body and sessionable for sure.

Apr 26, 2009 Pours a light honey color with a thin head. Aroma is somewhat of a blend between an American pale and a Belgian tripel. It has corn-based breakfast cereal notes (stale hops - think cap’n crunch), with some crisp citrus to balance out what otherwise borders on cardboard. No doubt about it, this tastes like grain. Just enough hops to keep it refreshing and from being weighed down by the grain / malt flavors. I can’t get over the idea that this tastes like cap’n crunch. Not everyday can you find a beer that can make you think of your childhood. This one isn’t anything to shout home about, but it’s very drinkable and would make a great summertime brew.

Apr 24, 2009 Probably some of the best of this style. I would serve this American pal ale to any snobby Brit who doubts the colony brewers. Perfect golden color with a classic head. Aroma of lemon and pine. More sour hops and malts int he taste with just a bit of bitterness to chew on in the fininsh
