A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is nicely hoppy combined with oranges. The flavor is sweet hoppy combined with notes of caramel and strong notes of grass coming towards the end, leading up to a dry bitter end.

Bottle. Light straw color with a white head. Low fruity/malty aroma. Bready, malty, spicy hop flavor with slight fruitiness and earthiness (but everything a bit subdued). Malt and earthiness lingers. Medium bodied. Very clean. Refreshing and easy to drink. It’s a better beer than it scores, but it doesn’t bring much to the table except good balnce, and being very clean.

Bottle: Clear pour of a pale gold with virtually no head. Doughy aroma with hints of lemon. Taste is more grassy with hops, some maltiness, and a bit of grain. Finished with a crisp, clean note.

Bottle. Amber beer with a thin off-white head. Citrus and slight caramel aroma. Orange citrus flavor with decent pale ale bitterness. Very drinkable - refreshing. Flavors fade fairly quickly. Nothing real bad, but nothing to make it stand out.

Bottle Pours a pure clear slightly yellow effervescing with a white quick head. Aroma is a nice light malt with the eastern Eurpean puils notes saaz hops and slight lemon. Flavor is light, crisp and thin. A pilsner for sure but a decent example of the style.

Nice deep brownish copper color with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty, and roasty. Taste is very smooth blend of malts, roastiness, subtle chocolate, and light hoppiness. Clean finish and well balanced brew.

Enjoyed at kp’s Cellar Party. Pours clear with a ruby tinged dark amber color. The head quickly became a ring of white at the edge of the glass. Sweet aroma of medium intensity. Some light oak and caramel. The flavor brings in a bit of bitterness to the mix that was noted for the aroma. Overall this is well balanced, but a bit thinner and less intense in it’s flavor and body compared to some I’ve sampled at the same tasting. I might easily rate this higher if it weren’t in such tough company.
