Sampled on draft a the Thirsty Scholar this beer poured a yellow gold color with a medium size foamy yellow-white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was citric, dry and perfumey. The flavor was dryish, citric, perfumey, lightly bitter and a touch grainy. Medium length finish. Light body.

Draft @ Buffalo Brewfest. Hazy pale yellow greenish. Citric, light bitterness, bit of biscuit. Ok, nothing special.

On tap at Otter Creek, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral dry hopping upfront, with a toasted grainy base. Flavour is similar, with floral dry hopping pretty much dominate. There is a dry biscuity malt base. Much more assertive than your average lager. Solid.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A slightly hazy yellow beer with a huge most good lasting white head. Aroma of mild citrusy hops, flowers, pale malt. Taste of flowers, mild citrus hops, some pine, pale malt, medium to long bitterness, okay!

Many thanks to pdog555 for this can! Citrus grainy nose. The beer starts fresh and floral. Hints of grain in the back, easy to drink with a round and floral citrus grainy aftertaste. Not much bitterness, easy to drink, refreshing with a smooth round citrussy grainy ending. Sessionable and nice.

Pours a hazy yellow with a minimal head. This was the first beer that I've had with Ella hops. Really liked them, they have a decent kick that blends well with the rest of the beer's palate.

From the mixed 12 pack from hannaford. Slightly hazy dark straw with a good sized long lasting white head. Crackery bready malt with plenty of earthy pine and citrus. Pretty tasty IPL
