Jan 12, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009This beer, no this beer, is full-on copper and an off-white head that lasts. Very impressive out of the shoot. Summit hops undoubtedly dominate the aroma, which is just ourageous and delicious. The flavor is mild but keeps a hold with the hops. The finish is undeniable grapefruit from the wonderful yeast strain they have found to brew this. This beer doesn’t suck. Even better, Widmer, A-B, and Brown guys bought mine. Rating does not reflect free beer, rather this beer is good on its own. This beer is the best tasting beer for the money and a good value overall.

Jul 27, 2009 Clear honey-golden color. Icy wisp of lace. Decent pure white head. Smell is major sweet citrus and stone fruit hops; thick tangerine, blood orange, grapefruit. The malt is pale but not too prickly. Heavy tangerine hop flavor, with only a hint of other citrus. Rye malt flavor is roasted which adds dark balance. Smooth, silky feel; nearly perfect. This is a really impressive beer. Unexpectedly balanced and delicious.

Jan 30, 2007 Updated: Jan 31, 2007poured a rich red color with thin head. The piney citrus smell and taste make every drink of this beer supreme. Must try for anyone who can get ahold of it. Everything i wanted broken halo to be.

Oct 27, 2009 While always being a fan of The Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen, I decided to try their Drifter pale ale. I was blown away right after popping the top of the first bottle and getting it’s breezy/cool citris aroma. I was very impressed with its taste as well. I’m a huge fan of grapefruit, So I’m not sure if someone who dislikes grapefruit and/or has kidney stones will enjoy the qualities of this beer. It somewhat reminded me of Dogfish Heads 60 Min IPA, with less hops and a splash of grapefruit. Smooth Sailing! Repeat Consumer!

May 13, 2007 Nice hoppy aroma. Flavor has a great bite that sustains throughout. Really a nice hoppy brew that I could drink a lot of.
