Virtually at freezing point when served! Nicely balanced pale ale.

Tingly on the tongue, a little bit fruity and funky in a good way.

Pale and hoppy, pretty light bodied, and damned refreshing on a banging hot day.

Bottle, unsure of date, from Chameleon Club on 8/27/16.
Clear amber body is topped by a light beige head of moderate retention.
Soft, light toffee-tinged malts in the nose are joined by leafy, somewhat grassy hops adding spice and mild acidity. Lots of depth to the malt with emerging honey, biscuit and light caramel. Quite clean, not overly sweet and no alcohol.
In the flavor, it has a malty texture providing caramel, light toffee and honey-vanilla notes, with mildly fruity yeast notes and spicy-grassy hops adding modest bitterness and balance. Very nicely balanced, with a graininess that helps keep things dry and crisp on the finish. Clean. No diacetyl whatsoever in this bottle.

12 oz. bottle from a 4 pack. Purchased at Liquor Outlet Wine Cellar, Boonton, NJ. Deep brown in color, thin head. Aroma consists of melted chocolate candy, mild coffee note, and mild dark fruit hints.

Weak roast with plenty of chocolate throughout the sip. My only issue with it is the thin body. For the ABV and flavor I expected it to be more full in body. However, I will say the chocolate that is advertised is here in a decent character. Also a tad high on the carbonation. Still drinkable and somewhat enjoyable.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out perfumey notes, with stone fruits and alcohol. Flavour is muffled, with stone fruits, oranges and pineapple, and some alcohol and perfume. Not very cohesive or interesting. Meh.

22oz bottle from my brother, bottle share on 7/30/16. Cloudy pale golden body with a small white head. Light bodied, citrusy, leaning more towards the tangerine than a juice orange. Taste also features the citrus, but not in huge amounts, more of the witbier base comes through. Finishes quick, mildly dry.
