Clear gold pour, soapy looking head. Aroma has some nice hops. Pine and citrus even a bit of floral hops. Flavor is a bit sweet with some citrus, grass and caramel.

On tap at the Brewpub. Poured gold with a slight orange hue. Head was slightly off-white and laced nicely. Aroma was nice and hoppy with a citrus/grapefruit note with an underlying pine note. Flavor was a bit less complex with a citrus flavor and a bit of an unpleasant metallic flavor.

Pours light golden amber with a nice sized white head. Aroma is light citrusy slightly earthy hop. Flavor is light malts with a little bit of crisp citrusy earthy hop finish. Not bad.

My first birthday beer of the day- a semi cloudy golden colour. no head. Taste is terribly metallicy actually more glassy then anything. hops are old tasting. Bottled on July ’09. everything about this beer is really dissapointing.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a softly carbonated orange colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was mild malt and hops. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The balanced flavor contained notes of soft malts and medium strength hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Hazy gold pour, with a sticky off-white head, nice lace. Aroma distinctly hoppy, floral and grapefruit in about equal measure, a portion of pale dried fruits in there, too, apricot, golden raisins. Flavor has a bad first impression, some apricot sweetness on the front, but also some sharp, borderline stale biscuit, that pairs badly with hops bitterness. Mellows out as drink continues, more of the fruit and floral hops comes in, off elements fade. Medium body, smooth on the palate.

Pours clear golden with plenty of white head. Lots of bubbles. The nose seems to feature lots of bisuity malts with a bit of earthy hops. I bit more hop character in the flavor, but still plenty of hop. This really seems to be perfectly balanced. Medium body and very dry. Totally refreshing. So easy to drink.

Nice beer. Goes down smooth and has a good taste. Not as dry as some pale ales.
