12 oz. bottle, thanks to Ian. Pours gold, with a medium, bubbly, beige head. The aroma is a lot of blueberries, walnuts, and some light chocolate. Syrupy sweetness, and a faint bitterness. Medium body, sticky, and thick. Overall, this is a strong fruit beer, with a pretty good blueberry aroma, but little balance.

The appearance had a very light yellow colored body with no lacing, and no rings. No carbonation is seen rising. An ever so small white head less than a film dissipated within seconds.
The smell had some light malts with just a bit of graininess to it.
The taste had some of the grains come back with the malts, mainly balanced, but nothing spectacular. A bit grassy and herbal.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light, and was fairly sessionable, with no carbonation felt in my mouth. It had a balanced clean dry finish to it.
Overall, this was not a bad beer, though it was nothing spectacular it does the trick on a warm day. I would have this again, most likely grillin’.

The appearance had a hazy golden orange colored body leaving a thin white head that dissipated within a minute and left a small square bubbly looking head that lasted a good five minutes, didn’t leave any lacing or rings around the glass. No carbonation was seen rising.
The smell had some light hops I thought they were more subdued than most APA’s. There were some light traces of citrus in the smell.
The taste was mainly the malts with the hops and citrus mainly combined and subtly coming back in the taste.
On the palate, it sat at/about a medium, slightly creamy with average carbonation felt. This was mainly a drinkable beer.
Overall, this was a pretty good brew that I would have again.

The appearance had a golden yellow body with no head probably because the bartender filled it to the brim (no worries). No lacing was seen. Gentle carbonation slowly rose.
The smell had a bland sort of wheat. After it warmed up a bit, there were some light fruits and then the malts came out a bit.
The taste was the same as the smell, nothing really different.
On the palate, it sat very light with a decent amount of carbonation, sessionable.
Overal, this is a decent summer offering by Sea Dog’s. Though I’d probably only have it again on tap.

The appearance was a transparent golden colored body with no visible head (that might have left before I recieved my beer, it was an on tap pour). The lacing was lightly spotty and left no visible rings.
The smell had some pale malts and just a touch of hops.
The taste had some malts and the hops, but nothing particularly interesting.
On the palate, it was very light, very sessionable, no harshness on the tongue, no aftertaste, crisp, clean finish.
Overall, it was not a bad beer and I think I would have this again, but nothing to scream about.

Taste like those orange alka seltzer drops I used to drink for citrus when I had a cold. Finishes very citrusy. Not great. A little too sweet. On tap at DC Beer Festival.

Reviewed from notes. On tap at Sea Dog in Topsham, ME. In a pint glass, it shows a semi-clear golden yellow colored body with no head and once sipped no lacing whatsoever (no head, I won’t blame the bartender because they’re trying to give me my money’s worth). No carbonation is seen rising (this is interesting?). The aroma = nothing, not even the pumpkin, just plain bland (if water had a smell I guess this would smell like water). The taste had some pumpkin and that’s it, no other Autumn spices, huh?, well ok. On the palate, uh... it was super light (I was able to pound this within three minutes) yet nothing harsh on the tongue. Overall, ok, I wanted this and now I wish I never had it because this was, in my opinion, absolutely awful. As much water as I drank before this, I’m thinking this would have helped me have a clean palate and I think it still didn’t help. Now I don’t know what to think, I drank at least five glasses of water after this just so I could be able to review another beer. Personally, I think this beer needs to be retired or re-worked altogether.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5.5
Location: Sampled at Living Social Beerfest, 12/6/13
Aroma: The nose is apricot/fruity and wheat mostly, as you'd expect
Appearance: It pours a a hazed yellow color with an off-white head on it
Flavor: The flavor is similar, fruity, sweet, and a little wheat
Palate: The body is light-medium, with a fairly clean, refreshing finish on the mouth
Overall Impression: This certainly isn't a great beer, but for what it is trying to be it works decently. As far as this style goes, you could certainly do a lot worse.
