bottle - Pours golden with a one finger head that laces nicely. The aroma is mild hops. the flavor is mild, citrus accented hops and it has a lightly bitter finish. It looks nice but isn’t memorable in any way.

12oz Bottle Pours out a cloudy amber topped with a white head. A nice light crisp aroma of floral hops and a little malt. Tast more of the nice light hop and malt. A nice summer pale.

12 oz. bottle. Welcome to Montana beers, me! But, um, doesn’t the billy goat go on the doppelbock labels, guys? Anyway… Pours a light brown body with a big rocky head. Nice smell of northwestern hops, at least that’s what I thought til I read the description here. A touch of grapefruit and pine, y’know? Taste brings only a slightly bigger smack of those hops. Matls are a good caramel/crystal type, but its mouthfeel is a little light to support this nice hop load. Still a nice product from a regional brewer with pretensions of going big. And they just might.

Light floral hop aroma backed by light malt. Orange tinted amber color with a white head that didn’t entirely leave, and gives a lace tease. As the glass approaches the mouth the hop aroma intensifies. Starts with floral hop. Some malt accompanies this, but it’s mostly about the hop. The finish has a little bitter, and floral notes hang around. If the carbonation was toned down, this would be close to an ESB. Really enjoyable.

Nice floral hop aroma present on a clear amber pour with a minimal white head. Taste is clean and crisp, citrus tones, malts, and the hint of pine. Well balanced flavor and a smooth finish.

Bottle. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. Tropical/summer fruit (peach/mango) aroma. Fruity hop flavor with some crystal malt. Nice balance. Easy drinking. Medium bodied.

Gushing to small off-white head; clear pale amber beer. Beautiful grapey nose, C-hops, even when one taster complains of smelly feet!, aroma’s influenced by the carbonisation: definitely some lemonade-like aroma’s. Again lemonade-like, with grapey hops in the finish. Rosewater, fresh hops. Very, very diluted cookies flavour; ending again in fruity hops. Light MF and body, but not watery. Nice light but tasty archetypical American drinking beer. Nice one.

Amber colour with a finger of dense foam. Gentle carbonation. Fresh aroma of mandarin orange peel and a little bit of cedar. Moderately bitter. Very grapefruity with light florals and wood. There is a slight hint of caramelly/toasty malt but it’s rather subtle.

Bottle Pours a medium reddish copper with very little head or lacing. No real aromas cme through but faint grain and hopps. Earlier review mentioned "hampster cage"...yeah OK...kind of. Taste is dominated by a nice strong hoppy tang and a little malt. Finish is hopps and a woddy slant. Clean and fresh though as well.
