This beer, light amber in color, when poured releases a nice citrus-like American hop aroma. A refreshing true session beer with a light caramel malt flavor. The sweetness is in balance with the bitterness.

3.5On tap, pours a hazy gold with a thin white head, the aroma is of citrus and fruit, not overpowering but light and nice, the flavor is much of the same, good amount of citrus at first with a sweet malt finish, balanced, not bad.
3.4Keg at CBC Islington. It pours pale yellow with some medium white foam. It has some bitterness which is very enjoyable, not quite as bitter as an IPA, but good nonetheless. Nothing spectacular, but it is enjoyable.

4.2I really liked this beer. It is extremely drinkable. Has a very soft feel that makes you want to swish it around in your mouth.
3.8On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013. This is a deep cloudy dark orange one with a medium sized just off-white top that’s lacing nicely down the sides of the glass. Light sweet on the nose, some grains, some light floral touches and some stingy citrus. Mmhhh.. Really tasty and easy to drink. Light oily on the mouthfeel with a below average carbonation level. The sourness from the brett is just delicious. Reminds me of acidic raspberries in a way. Peaches and sour apricots also cones to mind n this one. Refreshing and quite quenchable. 04.05.2013

3.5Sample at CBC 2013.
Hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, malt and hops.
3.0The bleached blonde of pale ales. So golden you’d think they gave you a lager by accident. Citrus hop bite scaled back to balance with the lighter body. Great intro pale ale for those new to choppy beers.
