Bottle -- This poured with a lighter hue than I’d expected, bright copper ... and just a thin top, but fairly active. The aroma is almost yeast actually ... and a bit citric. This is an exceptionally easy to drink beer, pleasantly stingy, but altogether unoffending, too. Nice. (#3544, 5/19/2009)

On tap at Sweetwater in the Atlanta Airport! Pours a golden to light orange with a white head. Aroma is malt and a touch of hops. Flavor is sweet malt, and a touch of hops. Refreshing pale ale, but after drinking their IPA first I think I may be doing this beer a injustice because im such a hophead. Still a good IPA, I enjoyed it very much.

Poured a pale copper color with a white head that left only bits of lacing. The aroma was sweet, sugary malts and light citrus. The flavor was lots of malt and sugar in front of some almost wimpy citrus hops. Thin body, easy drinking. Not bad, just not that exciting.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden copper with a think, white head and a light aroma of citrus hops. Taste of hops is light as well with a substantial malt character as well. Not a strong pale ale, but very drinkable and light.

12oz bottle thanks to unclemattie. Pours a clear copper color with a large white head. The aroma is nice; very sweet malts and honey. The flavor is dominated by a mix of sweet malts and citrus hops. Lots of caramel and easygoing flavors. A nice session beer.
