Bottle > Alpine Spring bow-tie pint.
A - Hazed straw yellow, half a finger of fizzy white head, medium lacing.
S - Lots of spice and wheat, some biscuit, pepper, dark earthy tones. Not really appealing.
T - Mild biscuit malt, pepper, rye, some clove, a little grassy.
M - Medium feel, nothing outstanding.
O - Not going to return to this one. Really missing the hops.

I had this beer out of a 12 ounce bottle. Say and smell appraisal was done through a small plastic glass just a sample size. Served cool
Pours a decent white foam head and a yellow orange body old gold
Smells of grain cereal with a distinctive British hop aroma
The green flavor certainly in front with the medicinal herbal hop flavor pervading the rest of the way
Medium to high carbonation
Overall not a bad beer at all I would certainly drink this again the choice of which seems like mostly British house feels a bit one dimensional though. This is a great beer for anyone who likes British hops

Bought a bpttle of this yesterday to try because it's by a young local brewery and this particular beer is top rated as "most popular" of all beers at a local shop.
Poured from the 12 oz. bottle into my new Innis & Gunn stemmed glass.
a: Translucent light gold with a finger thick head which vanished rather quickly to a thin ring and a little lacing. Not too impressive so far.
s: Almost none, can't put my finger on what.
t: Mild to moderate pine/grass hops, reminiscent of Genesee or some other mainstream mass-produced brew.
m: Light to moderate.
o: Disappointing. I read reviews here where the color is described as darker, and all sorts of other flavors are reported than what I found. Can't explain that.
