Crisp, slightly hazy golden coloured body with a wheatie, unfiltered glow and a thin, one centimetre tall white head with bunches of bubbles coming from the bottom. Aroma of nice pale malt, strong citrus, metal, sweetness and a touch of grass, herbal notes and hay. Medium-bodied; Assertive malty notes with a little metal, some alcohol, citrus, caster sugar and fruit noticeable. Aftertaste is a bit deeper with a lot of alcohol burn noticeable for the style, some metal, a lot of malt and some lighter herbal and grassy hop flavours to finish it off. Overall, a nice, but relatively strong beer showing mostly good flavours, but some deep and strong flavours that don’t work great for a summer beer - good thing I’m drinking it on an almost 60 degree F WINTER day! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from K&E Discount Beverage in New Paltz, New York on 09-September-2011 for US$8.39 sampled at home in Washington on 18-February-2012, bottled in June 2011.

Old rating from this past summer. Smell is bready, some caramel, citrus zest, taste is pretty similar with a little booze.

On tap at Mugs Alehouse, Brooklyn NY on 27th July 2011. Clear gold wuth white ring-and-film head and a little lacing on the glass. Very fruity aroma - berries/fruitcake. Touch of floral and citric grapefruit in-mouth; late upper-mouth sugary sweetness. I found the finish rather sweet, sherbet, refreshers, starburst flavours. This sweetish flavour blend then fades without any further changes. Light mouthfeel and fairly easy drinking.

bottle pours bright yellow and gold with a pillow of a white head. Aroma is floral, honeysuckle and lemon peel with white pepper notes as well. Flavor is delicious, balanced assertive grassy and earthen hops with a nice pal malt and hay body. This is a really nice beer, wish I had more for football season.

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours a mostly clear, sparkling yellow with a medium, fizzy white head. Quite sweet aroma with lightly roasted malts, bread and crackers, light grass and florals. Flavor is very sweet, with strong malt and bread notes and mild hops. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes sweet with a nice, crisp bite. The overall impression is sweet but I didn’t find it overly so. Good stuff.
