(Bottle) I am very impressed with this beer. It’s not a strong or powerful beer...it’s a little on the lighter side and while the hops have a bold presence, they’re only moderately strong. I really like the character of the hops...they are very cool and clean tasting and make for an extraordinarily refreshing brew. The malt is also rich but without being heavy, and blends well with the hops. Not a great deal of complexity, but certainly an enjoyable beer and among the better of the American Pale Ales I’ve tried. What really makes this beer is its balance, subtlety, and a complete lack of any of the objectionable qualities that plague many micro-brewed pale ales.

Dec 23, 2009 Sweet rich complex nose. Lots of citrus aroma. Lightly sweet caramel malt character with a dry biscuity essence. A bit stale and thin, maybe a little honey sweetness.

Dec 16, 2009 Pours a very pale color with a small head. The aroma is citrusy with notes of Otto’s Jacket and a light fruitiness. The flavor is hoppy and dry but fruity and well blanaced and lightly herbal with a citrus rind flavor. Not too bad.

Dec 1, 2009 Shared beer club 12oz. bottle. Poured a clear, golden hue with modest, white, bubbly foam to the head and spots and streaks of lacing. The nose was mainly a floral/gardenia aroma, with secondary mid-toned fruit hints. The flavor added light malt, a little resin, and light hop bitterness. The body was on the light side, and the texture was somewhat watery.

Nov 30, 2009 Pours a hazy golden color, nice shallow white head. Slight citrus aroma, mixed with some sweet malt. Flavor is smooth and clean. Not much bitterness, but does have a fair amount of citrus flavor. Sweet and malty, heavier than i expected for a 4.5% beer. Nice medium mouthfeel. Nice stuff
