6.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Location: Tap at the Brewpub, Harrisburg location, 6/13/10

Aroma: It has a subtle nose of caramel, orange, floral notes
Appearance: It pours a caramel color with lots of lace
Flavor: The taste is well-balanced, good citrus/caramel feel
Palate: It is smooth, with a softish carbonation, light body
Overall Impression: This was a great looking beer, and its solid enough elsewhere. The nose is rather weak, and, in my opinion, that is the worst thing about this beer. Otherwise, the other aspects of it are decent enough, but it isn't anything special.

From the bottle at the Bocktown. Rather hoppy aroma. Fruity hops, you can tell from the nose it’s gonna have a hop impact. Ubiquitous color and appearance. Below average carbonation. Medium hop bitterness on the palate. Drinkable for a hopped brew. Not excessively bitter, but does have that ale personality.

Bottle. Pour is a light orange color with a pretty large head that just sticks around. There’s a bit of lacing as I drink it, but nothing really exciting. Aroma is subtle... I can pick up a bit of a grassy hops presence and that is about it. Flavor is a bit deeper than I expected... malt presence comes through as a toffee-like flavor and there is a touch of hops there-floral and grassy-but no really interesting flavors or textures. Pleasant, but not outstanding. Drinkable is a good description.

Clear copper body with a medium frothy tan head. Sweet floral and pine aroma with a caramel background. Sweet tea-like flavor with piney hops and a light caramel ending.

Draft at the Gettysburg location, July 2006. A hazy dark orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy notes of Cascade and a bit of lime. The flavor is weakly malty with light notes of fruit and toffee. I find it boring.
