Light fruity and buttery malt aroma, almost like a Kolsch, but coupled with a stronger citrusy grapefruit hop aroma. Large creamy thick head sits atop a pale cloudy gold beer. Excellent retention and lace. Malt flavors are light with a small hint of fruit and teasing sweetness. Hops are crisp and citrusy. Finish is clean and balanced. A pretty good and easy drinking pale ale.

More of a plain old ale than a stout. The appearance and head are good, but nothing about the aroma or flavor really stands out. Overall, a thin and unsatisfying "stout."

Reddish gold appearance. Light, fresh, fruit nose, but the body is lacking. Perhaps a bit too carbonated and could use alot more hops. The Blue Heron kicks the Red Tailed Hawks ass.

I like this beer. Very hoppy with great complexity. Good bitter finish and dry fruity notes.

Hazy copper color with small head. Nice drinkable ale with a medium hop prfile. medium body. Light caramel malt presence - a very good session beer with better than average hops (citric).

I took one sip and said Ah, just the way I like 'em, meaning, this is the way I like my stouts. Firm assertive body, mild sweetness, slightly toasted flavors. Mild hints at chocolate and coffee. Excellent beer for savoring.
