Rather light with a nice hop finish, this ale is a pub favorite and sure to impress.

Sampling a cold 16 oz can from Flying Goose. My uncle Lou picked this up to stock his fridge for our visit to New Hampshire. Thank you!
Pouring into my new .5L dimple mug from Schilling.
The beer pours a clear copper color with about .5 cm fizzy off white head. This foam fades to a thin edge layer soon after the pour.
Aroma is some light caramel and a good dose of citrusy rind hop character. the hops definitely are running this show, but this doesnt seem like an IPA.
The first sip reveals a medium body with fine and tingly carbonation that zings my palate with each sip.
The flavor is similar to the nose, brief notes of caramel and toffee and then gives way to citrusy grapefruit rind notes. Finish is slightly bitter and dry. Never any hint of ABV on this brew.
Clean and drinkable brew that isnt really complex, but isnt flawed either.

Picked up a growler at the brewpub after seeing all the recent awards it has won in the past few years. Wondering if the recipe has been tweaked since previous reviews. Poured out into a tumbler pint, the beer is a bright, slightly hazed, ruby-highlighted copper coloring with a tall, frothy, foamy, off-white head with great retention and a sparse, lacing cling along the glass. Aromas of tangy caramel with a solid hopping to balance. Smells rich and clean at the same time. Flavors are a balanced blast on the forward tongue, with both a wet hopping and a tangy, sugary sweet caramel profile. Peppery spicings highlight the palate, also. The beer is mid-bodied, with a round, smooth feel in mouth. Clean, slick finish that is drying a bit with the hops presence. Very solid, tasty brew.

It pours more amber than red and cloudy at that. The aroma was weak overall with the most noticeable scent being that of hops. The body was moderate but nothing extraordinary. The flavor had more of a hoppy sensation to it along with a bit of tanginess. Flying Goose says this is one of their more popular customer choices although I am not certain why that would be. Some of their darker brews are better than this one.

Hazed reddish amber hue, light on the lacing. Musty buttery caramel aroma. Sweet brew with very little hopping, lots of buttery diacetyl. Lackluster malt character, a tad watery with a long lingering buttery musty flavor. Not impressed with this brew at all.
