Bottle. Clear orange gold, with a medium white foamy head. Very little aroma, maybe some spicey hops aroma. Initial taste is sour/bitter and combines a malt and hops palette. It transitions into a somewhat dry/buttery body, and has a slightly sour dissipating finish. Unfortunately it had a soapy aftertaste that lingered. The beer may not have been that fresh, so I shall have to try it again.

Crisp/dry hops aroma. White cream colored head that stays around for a few minutes. Bottle. orange-red and a bit fizzy appearance. Taste is dry but has a bitter malt taste accompanying the hops. Finishes with a chewy/biscuity malt flavor. Medium bodied. Has a bitter/dry shot initially that is a bit uneven at the start, but combines well with a more subtle malt to produce a nice finish. As it warms more hops apparent in the body, producing a piney taste. Too uneven up front and carbonation is a bit too high.

Dark copper in colour with a orange tint. Nice microfoam head atop with very small bubbles. The aroma was pretty hoppy but with adequate malt. The taste was great, definately hoppy, definately malty, and most definately an english pale. The aftertaste was great, some sweeter tones came out as well. A great English style pale from a pretty good brewery, and if you can find it and like the style, definately try it! I tasted this on tap at MacGregor's in Rochester, New York.

Not much head, but decent lacing, clear golden color - aroma is slightly sweet - crisp and refreshing, with subtle malts and hps that mingle well with one another - slight caramel notes - finish is grainy, reminding me of macro-swill in some respects, but otherwise I enjoyed this - a quenching beer, good for a bbq or lounging out on a summer day.

On draught in the terminal of the Orlando airport. This was the seasonal offering in the sampler I tried. Dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is mostly caramel with some malt and spices. Not too rich in body, and I liked the balance. Malt character is balanced out by the hops and spices. The finish is smooth and malty as well. Pretty good.

600 beers with no end in sight. On draught in the terminal of the Orlando airport. One of the more entertaining names for a beer I have seen lately. Pours a light amber color with a thin white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is malty with a nice fruit bouquet. Buttery caramel malt flavor was nicely sweet over a medium body. Very light hops in the finish. Not too complex but solid.

On draught in the terminal of the Orlando airport. Having a 4 beer sampler at an airport makes up for standing in a line with no shoes on any day. Rich gold color with a medium thin white head. Pleasantly floral hops aroma. Maltiness hits you at first but is immediately followed by hops. I noted the commercial description describes the experience of drinking the beer perfectly (for once). There is also caramel and/or butterscotch in the flavor which is a nice touch. Smooth finish. Kind of light for my tastes but it was pretty good.

On draught in the terminal of the Orlando airport. How cool is that? You don't have to feel guilty at all for drinking beer at 9AM if it is in an airport and you are waiting for a plane. The beer is typical brewpub light fare. Pours a golden color with a thin white head and mild effervescence. Aroma is lightly hoppy. Light in body with a mild hops flavor and aftertaste. Decent for what it is.

Draught
Amber color. Good body structure, malty and well equilibrated by the hop. Quite a strong caramel character. The aroma is ordinary, maybe too light.
I would believe it's stronger than 5% ABV.
Probably the best beer I could find during this stay in Orlando.

Light amber color. Poor aroma. Pretty smooth, a residual sweetness and some caramel, but not enough malty nor hoppy.
