Commercial Description:
Brewed with lots of Golden Promise and Pale Ale malts with a touch of Oats and light hazy gold in color. Ultra crisp bitterness from Warrior hops, with Glacier hops adding the peach,orange and apricot aroma. We dry-hopped this one because...we like hops.

Goloden with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, tangerine and apricot. Sweet juicy American hop and caramel flavour.

16oz can. Dark gold with a fluffy white head.Malty, toasty aroma, very clean. Nice bitterness,more than most bitters I’ve had, but very drinkable. This would be a staple beer for me if available, very good.

16 oz can brought back from Minnesota by my lovely friend Kathy. Pours out a hazy golden color with a minimal white head. Aroma is very fruity: peach, orange and apricot with a hint of oat and biscuit. Flavor is fruity and full of grains, and the mouth is light and very refreshing on a hot summer night. One of the best examples of this style I’ve ever had.

Pours a bright orangish color with a good head and some lace. The smell is nice and fresh, some peaches, some citrus, plenty of fresh hops. The flavor is somewhat grainy and malty with again some good fresh hoppiness and that good peachy fruity flavor. Delicious.

Can sample at Noogfest High 5. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate tart citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium spicy bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

While low in abv, this bitter is far superior to its English cousins. Fruity, tasty, with a nice mildness.

Orange with a thin off white head that leaves splotchy lacing. Aroma of earthy hops, citrus, pine, caramel and pale malt. Taste of fruit, light caramel, mild earthy and citrus hops. Moderate bitterness on the back end.

Sampled at the Noogfest High 5. Light and fruity, semi-farmy. Aroma is better than the flavor. Good bitterness, but too much lemon. Awesome can though.
