Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

22 oz bomber. Pours a hazy orange with a several inch tall white head leaving a small amount of lacing on the glass. Smell is of light citrusy hops with a bit of sweet malt. Taste is of citrusy hops with a bit of sweet malt and a grassy finish. Light bodied. Smooth.
Tap. Pours pale yellow with beautiful white rocky head. Sweet and smooth, this is one easy drinker; perfect for a hot summer day if you want a little flavor without being too filling.
Perfect summer ale. Crisp and hoppy and gotta love the 5.2 ABV. All day by the BBQ. Little soft in the aroma and finishing hops but really I not complaining, great beer.
