opaque orange, wispy white head, fresh citrus hop aroma with a light floral quality, a bit thin, lots of hop flavor leads to a long bitter finish, slightly sweet malt tries to add balance but falls short to allow the hops to be the whole show,

picking up a nice sweet grapefruit to the aroma, caramel sweetness does a better job balancing the hops

Clear light copper color with a thin off-white head. Soft faintly hopped aroma with some pale malt. Body has a viscous caramely mouthfeel but is lacking in hop presence. Semi-sweet thoughout with lightly bitter finish. Could be a little cleaner tasting.

Hazy dark golden color with a bone colored smallish head. Pure butterscotch aroma and flavor. Way out there on the diacetyl levels.

On draught at the brewery/brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has some good retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt, citrus hops with a touch of sweet apple. Taste is light, crisp with some citrus and caramel flavors. Finish is slightly watery with a hint of mild dry bitterness.

On tap at Water Street - Delafield. Poured a clear medium amber with a 1" creamy beige head. Aroma picked up sweet caramel and floral notes with pine resin and a touch of herbal hoppage.. rather faint overall. The flavor was carried by pine resin and grapefruit bitterness which paired well with the sweet caramel base.. higher bitterness with a sweet resiny finish.. tasty. Nice balance with the bitterness a little sharp at points.. a tad abrasive at the finish. This would make a solid session brew.

Gold color with a thin head. Vaguely hoppy aroma. Decent balance of malt and hops. Not much to set it apart from any others.
