Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours slightly amber gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma of fresh floral. Arguably med body. Flavor is roasty malt with floral and a bit of citrus and spice. Grass spice I think. Dry. Decently bitter. Apparently it is best from cans, given the earlier ratings. Somewhat suggestive of SN Pale Ale. Somewhat.

Bottle from local AH XL. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Malty and floral hoppy. Taste: Malty with nice dry-ish floral hop background. Hints of citrus. Moderate sweet and bitter, over moderate bitterness at dry finish. Ok. Medium body, average carbonation. Nice Pale Ale.

Shortlived white head over hazy orangeish beer. Oxydation (well inside BBd), buttery, legumes as peas, old clothes. Rosewater, almonds, amandine, and again oxydated hops, turning sweet, certainly warmin up. Slightly relief by bitterish + carbonation in the finish. Light body, good carbonation. I blame the oxydation almost certainly to the hops - how did they arrive at the brewery? Ought not to happen. Txs to B&T for the gift!

Helle, trübe Farbe. Floral, fuchtig, herb. Die auf dem Etikett erwähnten leichten Mangonoten sind tatsächlich klar erkennbar. Recht schmackhaft. Einen Hauch schwerer, als die 5,0 % Alk es erwarten lassen würden.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Pineapple and citrus aroma with an appealing butterscotch undertone. Taste is bitter the whole way through. Medium-bodied .. could be chewier. Dry, crisp finish. Above average for the style. Nice.

Hazy golden. Aroma is tropic fruit light pine some summery grass hints of honey and lime. Taste is sweet muesli malt. Quite round and balanced with bitter fruity hop in the finish. Light and still interesting. Good.
