look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from bottle into pint glass

Appearance – Pours an orange - golden color with a nice two finger white head. The head has a decent level of retention, eventually fading to give moderate lacing.

Smell – The aroma is heaviest of citrus and bready hops. Mixed with these are some pine hop as well as a light herbal smell.

Taste – The taste begins big of malt and bread. These two initial flavors remain throughout the taste and maintain a relatively dry taste, which is quite nice for the style. As the taste advances from the beginning, flavors of a more citrus and herbal flavor come to the tongue. These tastes are met with a light earthy flavor at the end of the taste profile. All in all, a pleasantly hopped and crisp flavor is left on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is rather average in creaminess/thickness as well as carbonation. Combined they are a nice blend for drinkability as well as the hop and bready flavors of the beer.

Overall – A quite pleasant brew. Wonderfully smooth and delicious. A great easy drinking and crisper brew.

I figured I should put it out there that this review is coming in on my third one of the evening.
Appearance is good, A golden light amber color. Smell is OK, not very strong. A little citrus a little pine. Not a whole lot going on with that. Taste is little better then the the smell. You get the same things, with a litte grapefruit bitterness from the hops and some bready taste from the malts. Mouthfeel is good, light and crisp. This a good beer for today since I've been busting my @$$ in the yard today and it's the hottest it's been all year.

Pours clear and light. Copper/gold with a fingers worth of foam that fell fast but left a skin and hung around on the sides of the glass. Spritzy looking with constant bubbles rising from the bottom. Nose is floral and herbal. Light orange and lemon citrus.A little pine, grass and corn. There’s even a touch of musty basement. Malt is bread and plenty of caramel. Taste is clean and smooth. Malt is cereal, bread, dough & caramel. Hops are light but stay with the nose. Slightly sticky mouthfeel and a lingering sweetness. Semi dry, creamy and very easy to drink. I thought this was a pleasant and easy to drink ale and while it wasn’t really extraordinary, you could drink a few of these.
