Don't care for the mouthfeel....charged up....spritzy...lacks malt backing but not real bitter either...just not a lot of flavor...if anything a bit of green apples on the nose and a slight sourish twang on the taste...actually more than a slight twang...definitely pronounced...but still does not strike me as old....just a poorly made beer...the hops do emerge a little but they don't add much but some bitterness..

Not good....not impressed at all. Not sure if this bottle is indicative of the beer but it is what I have...and this bottle rates this low...seriously this would have to be 4 years old for most beers to taste this bad and I know it is not...only code reads 3122....a little internet research seems to suggest this was brewed in January but wtf knows with this backward ass codes....

Into a mug:

A: golden body, one finger`s worth of white head, light speckled lacing, some rings,

T: bitter and slightly sweet here and there, sweet aftertaste, sticky finish

M: light to medium, sessionable, carbonation is spot on

O: I say this is good for the style and good for me

Poured aggressively from a 12 oz bottle into a 14 oz "pint" glass. Pours a nice cloudy orange straw color with a foamy white head. Smells of flowery hops, very nice. Tastes of orange and light hop bite with earthy notes. Beer is carbonated a little heavily but it is a very drinkable light bodied beer. Overall, a very good beer.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.

Pours hazy copper orange with 1/4 inch white foam. Opaque. Bready malt nose. Some fruit too. Firm hop flavor, and chewy malt. Layer of caramel beneath. Firm carbonation lends balance. Good pale.

Overall a good beer, not outstanding, but worth drinking.

the review below is done through voice recognition on my phone - i like how 2 and a half becomes tuna half... fun to leave for posterity... and it's fun to translate later... especially since I'll leave the reviews in for months and forget exactly what I said... enjoy the mayhem...

3.41/5  rDev -0.6%
look: 2.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

Poured from an undated 12 oz. bottle: murky, golden-yellow with an inappropriate, overflowing fluffy white-head.

Very pleasant malty aroma with light scents of fruit wafting upward.

The flavor is a little coarse with a zesty lemony flavor dominating at first with a sour, biting bitterness following through on the tongue. Not as bad as it sounds as the flavor mellows out after warming in the pint glass. The label states the ale has a "sweet caramel finish". I don't detect that at all, but it is refreshing.

Thin bodied and overly carbonated, the flavor and mouthfeel are short-lived on the palate.

Starting from the initial pour, this one was very uneven but did have some redeeming qualities. I wonder if I have an old bottle or a poorly bottled ale.
