Location: Draft from State Line, 11/4/14
Aroma: This one has light nose of tropical fruit, pine, cracker malts, and some floral notes
Appearance: This one has a golden-orange color with a creamy white head on top
Flavor: Tastes similarly, with a nice mix of tropical and cracker malts, with a decently bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, drinks decently, with a plus carbonation, and a light dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid one overall, but not something that really stands out as being good. It's fine. There isn't a ton more to say beyond that.

Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Lightly hazy gold beer, few white bubbles not being a head. Light pale malts, little floralness. Sweet orange marmalade with traces of lemon and grapefruit. Touch of lactose sweetness underneath. Light finish with a fruity pithy linger. Decent.

Bottle shared at chriso’s winter tasting 7/12/2014. Yellow / golden coloured pour with a light haze and thin white head. Aroma is medicinal hop, pale grains, earthy notes. Flavour is soapy, Base mlats, piney hop, earthy notes. Bitterness coats the palate with sticky resin. Palate is clean, Not huge fan of this.

Easy drinking, a little hippy and generally a good session beer. Plus pale gold with OK head and lacing. Aroma has what feels like Czech hops. Light bitter snappy finish, crisp. Draft at some bar on Halloween.

No noticeable aroma. Cloudy golden, thin head. Balanced, lightly sweet malt, but a plastic note on the back of the palate. Grass finish. Clean and refreshing.
