Bottle: Pale golden color with a finger of creamy sand colored head. Aroma is grassey and herbal, some florals, faint citrus, and light biscuit. Tastes herbal and floral, some dandelions, grass, and seemingly rye. Sticky, lingering aftertaste is herbal, bitter, and dry.

Draft - Artificial lemony citrus. Gold clear thin head. Again that artificial citrus overwhelms and disappoints.

Golden coloured body with a hint of a cloudiness and a thin, one centimetre tall off-white head that fades very fast. Aroma of VERY VERY strong citrus, metal and distinct lemon pledge cleaner. Medium-bodied; Strong lemon pledge flavour with a pungent and overpowering citrus and metallic note with a lot of bitterness, some soap flavours and a lot of herbal and grassy notes that shows off even more of the unpleasantness. Aftertaste is even more potent with the off-flavours running rampant - the grass, citrus, cleanser and herbal flavours show off way too much, only a hint of the hops come out at the end. Overall, not such a great beer - way too herbal and grassy plus showing too many off-flavours (Cleanser and soap) to be worth anything. This wasn’t worth my effort on bringing back across the country - so if you can find it locally, it might be worth sampling, otherwise, pass this up and try something else. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 28-February-2012 for US$1.65 sampled at home in Washington on 22-May-2012.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is grainy, citrus rind, wet river rock, perfumy and floral--all of this there but pretty faint. Pours hazy orange-gold with a thin white collapsing head. Taste is bittersweet and to style, if a little bland. Has an earthy flavor. This is a simple, easy-drinking, thirst-quenching beer. Tasty with not much complexity.

Bottle. Pale orange with thin fast dissipating white head. No lacing. Aroma is grass and citrus, mainly naartjies. Hoppy flavour with a middle of the tongue maltiness. Quick departing hop finish
