Pours orange amber into a shaker. Fizzy off-white head pancakes as it recedes. Deep pine and resin aromas. Crisp with citrus (orange and grapefruit) from front to back. Dry lasting grapefruit and orange finish.

Thanks to Beer_Hawk for sharing this one at Illinismitty’s tasting. Hazy orange/gold with a fleeting off-white head. Floral citrus hop aroma. Chalky palate with the citrus hops coming in for a reprise of the aroma in flavor form. Nice balance.

12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Amber pour with a medium head and good lacing. Very spicy and leafy hop aroma with a slight sweetness. Bitter leafy hop taste with a caramel and grain finish. Slightly off balanced.

Amber, cloudy, with a loose head. Earthy nose with light citrus. Earthy taste, again with c-hop woodiness. Light, refreshing. Some light toast, caramel. Quite clean, finishing dry. Not bad, definitely not English, but a tasty brew.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caremel as well as light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish. NW and NZ hops and 6.5% ABV in an English Style ale - I don’t get it.

Bottle. Poured Amber gold with a lasting white head. Aroma that began sour, and turned hoppy. Medium body and flavour with a good, light finish

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur orange ambrée et claire. Nez de houblon moyennement floral, légèrement citrique (pamplemousse) ainsi qu’avec des notes herbeuses et résineuses, moyen de fruits (abricots) et malté de caramel sucré. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse et aux petites notes résineuses. Moyen goût fruité (abricots, traces d’agrumes et de mangues) accompagné d’un goût moyennement amer de houblon floral et légèrement citrique (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) ainsi que de notes épicées (poivre) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel légèrement sucré aux petites notes terreuses et rôties ainsi que des notes de biscuits, de pain et de céréales puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger regain d’amertume de houblon plus herbeux (herbe mouillée et notes de thé) et aux faibles notes résineuses ainsi que des traces de légumes bouillis et de noix. Post-goût moyen aux notes sèches, moyennement amer de houblon floral, moyennement herbeux, légèrement citrique et aux notes résineuses ainsi que de faibles notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes).

Nice cloudy orange coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of fresh hops, grass, hay and some more hops - very nice! Light to Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavour of grass and grapefruits noticeable up front, with some apricot flavours and a very nice malt backbone. Aftertaste shows more hops, but aren’t bittered at all. Overall, a nice offering - not an amazingly hoppy beer, but definitely good for folks that enjoy hops - including myself. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 25-December-2007.

bottle - Pours hazy copper with a medium sized head. Aroma is mostly of pine and citrus hops with a hint of caramel malt. The flavor is a well balanced mix of sweet malt flavors and pine accented hops. It’s medium bodied and overall a good quaff without being a truly great one.

Bottle. Aromas are heavy of hoppy pine and citrus and are detectable from across the room. Color is a darkish amber with about two fingers of head. On closer inspection, hops are followed up by some caramel malt scents, too. Flavor is a nice mix of caramel malt and hops that is interesting, but not spectacular.
