Lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. Pleasant C-hops and plum jam notes. In mouth, a nice fruity pale ale, with light c-hops, lemon and citrus notes. Light and refreshing. On tap at MSP location, Jan 24 2009.

Sampler at MSP airport, second beer in the sampler and thus my second rate. It was a lightly hazy amber color. Aroma is well hopped with American hops on the sweet side of hoppiness. Taste has just a little residual sweetness from the malt, which in turn hides a little but of the hop flavor. Fresh hops in an easy drinking beer, not much more one can ask for.

Sample at the MSP location. This beer is a clear orange color with a thin and compact off-white head that dissipates slowly. Dense pattern of spots for lacing. The aroma is citrus and hops with a touch of malt underneath. Medium-bodied and moderately hoppy with some citrus and floral notes. Light malt in the background as well. The finish is clean and somewhat hoppy with a lingering citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.
