Hazy reddish gold beer - juicy hop aroma, with grapefruit and strawberry fruitiness - a bit oxidized (probably an older bottle), but the hop profile remains strong and oh so tasty - a bit peppery/spicy, but with just enough malt underneath to keep the hops and spice to become too dominant - nice balance.

Moderately hazy, rust-colored beer - medium hop profile in the aroma, with some bready malt and a kind of honey-covered strawberry smell - the same can be said of the flavor - a bit bready, with a mild berry fruitiness - nice balancing hop profile - earthy, grainy notes - a bit tangy in the finish - nicely balanced, with lingering hops and herbal notes - under-rated.

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub this beer poured a bright golden color with a medium sized white head that faded quickly. The aroma was sour, tangy generic "beer". The flavor was sour, tangy and a bit dry. Rather macroish.

12 fl. oz bottle, thanks to BA richgo6. Orange coloured beer, slightly hazy, with a huge off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma, very fruity. The flavour is also quite hoppy throughout, with resinous notes and some malty sweetness. Not bad at all. The style seems more American than English to me, though - but what do I know?

Pours a translucent orange with a creamy white head. Aroma is subtle (absent?), slightly floral, slightly citrus. Flavor is kind of flat and a little too mild. Finish is a little salty/oily on the lips. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Shockoe festival Richmond VA-Draft: Was told it was a golden ale. Weak grain and vegetable taste and aroma. Yellow color, clear, with no head. Decent hop finish.

12 oz bottle from alldaydrinker; nose of flowery hops and somesweet light fruitiness; rusty copper with a big, glass-lacing, straw head; flavor has hop bitterness, mixed with semi-sweet caramel; interesting and well balanced, if you like IPAs that way!

On tap at Roland’s Iron Landing in Pittsburgh. Off fermented fruity aroma and taste that is strangely attractive. Barely any carbonation. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. Comes on like a good personality pale lager.

This beer came in my beer club - I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a medium sized fluffy tan head. The aroma was roasty with a light floral hop undertone. The flavor was bitter and roasty with a moderate floral hop element. The finish was longish, bitter and hoppy.
