Draught @ Goose Island pub, Chigago airport. Aroma is quite mild with grain, sweetish fruity tones and toffee. Creamy and sticky palate. Flavour has menthol, some grainy malt and gooseberry bush leaves. Finishes with stronger menthol tones. Slightly offensive.

Several 16oz pints at Frank’s Bar Chicago. Pours a clear orange with a ring of white head. Nose wasn’t so great, some cheap malt, some orange, a little cotton candy. Flavor is very weak, honey, cheap malt, orange, some biscuit, a little artificial sweetness. Slightly cloying finish.

Pale, yes. Ale, barely. Pours out with nice creamy head, but dances closely to lager territory . Faint malt aroma, more bread, malt in the taste . Short finish, not much hops to speak of.

Draft. Golden body with a frothy, white head. Aroma of toasted grain, light citrus, lemon, leafy hops. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Relatively clean and crisp, but with a hint of husky grain. Light floral taste.

Paid $2.00 for a 6 oz. half pint at Hopleaf. Color is a mostly clear orange pale color, (hard to tell with the low lighting) Nose is a good amount of floral hops with touches of citrus. The flavor is some bready malt with subtle citrus and a moderate level of floral hops in the finish. It also shows a sugary sweetness. It reminds me of a classic example of an APA that craft brewers made before the hop explosion. The hop flavors are there just not over the top with bitterness on the low side. I enjoyed this and it is a nice session brew you could crush large amounts of.

gold pale. 1 finger creamy head. Big American hops and rose petals on the nose. A tongue party. Okay like the mouthfeel and such is biting and mineral like. Lightly bittered, orange peel and pine cones. Nice sweetness. Has a champagne like carbonation. Pineapple as well
