A clear amber beer with a small, dissipating off white head. Aroma is very nice fruity and flowery hops, but I’m afraid the taste doesn’t back it up. Quite watery, with just a bit of hop bitterness. Not nearly as much of a malt backbone as the appearance would seem to suggest.

Dec 5, 2009 Tasted at Beer Dabbler event in St. Paul. I really like this pale ale. Classic pin and grapefruit with a bit extra malt, nut and sweetness. Dry finish.

Dec 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle. LIght but pleasant citrus aroma. Pours a rich copper with a nice cream head. Pleasant aroma builds you up but the beer just dies on the tongue. Very light malt and citrus flavor. Even balance of not much malt and not much citrus. Light body with a thin texture but nicely carbonated. Soft and lively on the tongue. Finishes extremely crisp. It’s not bad but it doesn’t bring anything that would make me want to buy it again.

Dec 5, 2009 12 oz. amber pour from bottle. The word balance comes to mind. Great balance of hops and citrus give this beer a smooth, refreshing taste. Nothing is out of balance; everything in just the right measure. Excellent.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a copper color with a small beige head. Taste is of citrus, hops, pine, caramel and some malt. Is a little sweet. Similar aroma. Slightly thin. Bitter finish and aftertaste. Easy to drink. Not bad, but not great either.

Nov 26, 2009 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a meidum sized orange-tan head. The aroma was strong floral, grapefruit and pine. The flavor was bitter, tart and fruity with notes of grapefruit, pineapple and lemon and an undertone of light sour nutty malths. The finish was long, dry, bitter and hoppy. Medium body. Good.
