Sample at Bridge Street Tap Room. Pours a slightly hazy brownish-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Wheaty and malty aroma with touches of fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of malt, wheat, fruit and mild grassy hops. The finish is wheaty with a doughy malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy dark orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops and dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, light pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light nuttiness, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light nuttiness, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hop and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is very good hoppy amber ale. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hop and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. I really liked how bright and juicy the hop character was in balance with the malts; and it was not all that bitter. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of earthy grass with a touch of pine with a light nuttiness. Flavor has sweet grains up front with grass and light pine backing.
