Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is clean hops, citrus, fruity, lightly sweet. Decently carbonated body. Flavor is fruity, citrus, lightly herbal, sweet, a bit tropical. Shocked by this one. 4.2% and packed with this much flavor and a balanced hop profile. One of the best session style beers I’ve had.

Location: Draft at Brass Rail, 1/15/13

Aroma: Lots going on, with roast, yeast, some spice, chocolate, and caramel, among other things
Appearance: Pours a unclear brown color with a frothy, lasting, beige head and heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is much like the nose, with a lot going on between the malts, yeast, and spice
Palate: This one has a medium-plus body, it drinks fairly creamily, with a tingly finish
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty solid for sure. It had a bunch of different things happening, and all the components may not work perfectly together, but they work together pretty well. Interesting beer.

Update 9/10/14 - Now that it is canned, this has become a go-to for me, and the rating deserves an update. It's a wonderful session beer for the pool or a BBQ. (4.2: 8/4/8/5/17)

Location: Draft at Brass Rail, 12/28/12

Aroma: The nose is citrusy, with some German yeast, grapefruit, grass, pine, and grainy notes
Appearance: Pours a hazed yellow color with a frothy white head that coats the glass in lace
Flavor: The flavor is mid-sweet, it has crisp, clean flavors, with a nice medium bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it drinks really cleanly, not watery at all, rather refreshing
Overall Impression: I was really rather impressed by this one. It has most everything I look for in a "boat beer.". I don't think they can this, but if they did, a cooler full of this would be great for any tailgate, boat trip, or the like. Well done! Original Rating: 3.9: 7/4/8/4/16
