Aug 20, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Light gold color with a small, foamy, white head. The head is gone in seconds.
Aroma: Fruity nose with hints of lemon, pear, and apple. Light wheat notes? Perhaps just some oxidation.
Taste: Lke apple juice. Light caramel notes and an odd back end bitterness. Some light malt notes come out as the beer warms. Nothing spectacular here.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a light, watery mouthfeel. Medium-short, bitter and caramel finish.
Overall: Light and refreshing but pretty forgettable.
Rebuy: Nah. There are better APAs out there.

Aug 8, 2009 Distinct hay and peas aroma. Golden with a thin white head. Grassy hay and parsley flavors. Celery finish. It tastes very green. This is pretty good but difficult to find even for me, and I only live 4 miles from the brewery. Has a unique pilsenery edge.

Jan 21, 2009 Crystal clear light amber coloured body with a super-thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel, peaches, raisins and fresh low a.a. hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp hoppiness up front fading into a nice caramel presence with a light aftertaste of raisins. Overall, a decent beer - hard to pin down the style just from a sample, but I’d say they were trying to brew an APA. Decent though for the beer fest! I sampled this six ounce sample from pseudo-draught at the Old Dominion 2005 Beer Festival on 24-June-2005 in Ashburn, Virginia.

Oct 8, 2008 Geez, I get a six pack when I’m out of town and am on my fourth in a row that sucks. I wanted to get this to enjoy local beer, not get six ’ticks’. Pours yellow with a decent sized light tan head. The aroma has lightly toasted malt, hints of citrus and some diacetyl. Medium body with lots of lightly sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with light toasted malt, a sickly lime-ish taste, some cardboard and phenolic spice. The finish is quite sulfuric and peppery. This is not very good.

Jan 7, 2008 bottle: Last one of the sampler pack. Poured a dirty brown color with a big thick off white head. First scent is mild floral can smell a hint of nut as well. Seeing that is is already out of season at this time for a summer brew it doesnt really stand out as exceptional. The company probably should have substuted a winter or a fall brew instead.
