Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a standard pint glass. Best by date is 5/27/12.

A. Pours a translucent light copper color. The head got a little out of control on me, but settled out to about two finger width before dissipating into a fairly nice layer of foam. However, doesn't look to be monstrously carbonated.

S. Some fruit and citrus hops and buttery malt. The overall effect is kind of a rich, herbal flowery smell.

T. Nice crisp bitter hops up front. It mellows out as it slides back, hitting the biscuity malt body. The finish is nice and fresh tying...flowery and earthy.

M. On the light side of medium bodied. Fair amount of carbonation.

O. Overall, a nice seasonal offering from New Belgium. Very refreshing, and makes me wish there wasn't snow in the ground.

A: A medium copper beer with good clarity. The head is off-white made of rocky bubbles with good retention.

S: A blend of American citrus hops and those tropical fruit New Zealand hop. There are hops aromas of grapefruit citrus, some mango a bit of passion fruit and an herbaceous note. There is a low bready malt aroma.

T: A strong, fruity, citrus and herb hop flavor with a medium-strong hops bitterness. There is barley enough malt to support the hops but it make for and easy drinking, bitter beer. The finish if off-dry with a quick bit off citrus hops bitterness in the aftertaste.

M: A medium bodied beer with a Medium-strong hops bitterness.

O: A very good Pale Ale with a great blend of hops. A refreshing beer that is easy to drink and in my case a great to cool off with after working on the car most of the afternoon.
