12oz bottle pours deep gold with subtle haze and thin off white head. The aroma is a rush of assorted citrus smelling hoppiness running from grapefruit to tangelo to orange zest to lime. I also get a sense of malts off in the background. The taste is similar bridging the gap between citrus hop flavor and citrus hop bitterness with plenty of grapefruit and tangelo and un ripe orange. It seems to go from sweeter citrus hop flavor then toward increasing citrus hop bitterness.

Nice hazy crisp golden coloured body with a frothy white head that leaves a nice lace on the glass - this one looks great! Aroma of pale malt, light hops, wort, yeast and a bit of unfinished sugars. Medium-bodied; Nice assertive hops up front then showing some malt and a subtle citrus sweetness at the tail end. Aftertaste is somewhat hoppy, but not overly bitter and has a nice caramel sweetness. Overall, a nice and refreshing beer - not overly done like most new styles, and definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington on 25-April-2009, sampled at home in the Real Washington on 03-May-2009.

12 oz bvc. Pour is a slightly hazed golden orange with beautiful settling and a thick two inch white head. Head falls slowly, leaving behind thick, sticky lacing. Pretty. Aroma of fresh resin hops and toasted maltiness. The maltiness is soft, and very fresh smelling. Taste is the resin hops, somewhere between pine and orange peel citrus. The nice toasted maltiness carries through to the middle and finish, and is quite husky and fresh. Palate is medium, with lingering toasted sweetness. There is a pleasant unfiltered mineral element to this beer as well. Nicely balanced pale ale. Thanks for sending this my way, Brandon!

Standard pale ale. I didn’t pick up on the Czech hops, but there is a nice, mild hop aroma. Good flavor with sweet malt and lightly bitter hops.

Bottle Pours a very light golden color. Quite hazy and a moderate puffy white head. Light ans sweet malts dominate the aroma but there are enough hops there to balance at first sniff. Flavor is more decidedly hoppy, at least at first. Fairly bitter. OK...at last as well. Quite dry and bitter in fact. The malts are a bit grainy, yes. Feel is moderatly heavy, and quite chalky.
