Bottle. Orange, caramel malt, and weedy hay aroma. Amber with large light tan head. Moderately sweet orange/mango, caramel malt, and moderately bitter hay/quinine flavor. Okay body and balance. Decent.

Bottle: Clear, copper-amber with a thick beige head. Earthy caramel malt aroma. Taste is toasty caramel malt, slightly nutty..... Starts out a bit watery, but after a bit of warming it starts coming around....Strongly malty....mild earthy bitterness. More along the lines of a hoppy amber...pretty good.

Growler at RBWG. Pours a clear gold with small white head. The aroma is floral hop and pine. Nice hop bite and resin, light bitterness, very good.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Superstar Beverage - Huntington, 9/30/14, Bottled 9/4/14
Aroma: The nose is fairly light, with some clean resiny hops, toasted bread, and a little caramel
Appearance: Pours a mostly clear copper-orange color with froth of beige head and heavy lacing
Flavor: The taste is lightly sweet, bready, leading to a mid-plus bitter, clean, hoppy finish
Palate: The body is fairly light, smooth and rather drinkable, with a soft carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: This one mixes the resiny hops nice with the clean pale malts, not to mention that it is a heck of a good looking beer in the glass. At 5.5% I could drink a ton of this beer. This is another nice one from Spider Bite.

Copper coloured body with a ridiculously large, eight centimetre tall soapy tan head - not very pleasant. Aroma of pale malt, light hops, earth, flowers and some yeast. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour with a bunch of floral and herbal notes and a lot of cardboardie malt with little else. Aftertaste shows some yeast and a biting floral note that shows decently. Overall, way too much carbonation in this one and the hop flavours were a bit overshadowed by the malt and there wasn’t enough complexity throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 13-July-2013 for US$2.00 sampled at home in Washington on 09-August-2013.

Pours a clear light amber - rather fizzy pour - moderately sustained head - nose is crisp/crackery and doughy/bready, with a fair amount of earthy, woody, lightly peppery hops in the mix - carbonation is full but frothy in the mouth - body is on the thin side - up front, the flavor has a light, brisk, mildly tea-like character - the middle and finish, however, are fairly dry and crackery - finish is moderately bitter - hop character is woody, lightly spicy - easy drinking but fairly flavorful - a good example of the style - not bad, Larry, not bad.
