Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz into a pint glass. The bottle had a born on date of 01-12-09. It was sampled on 5-31-09. Appearance: The body has a dark golden almost coppery color with good clarity. On top an aggressive pour produced a tall foamy white head. It has good retention and makes some sticky lacing on the glass. Smell: There is a sweet candy like malts with notes of brown sugar and some herbal hops of in the distance. Taste/Mouth: It has a candy like character with hints of caramel, brown sugar and white bread. Hop bitterness is mild and adds some spicy/herbal notes to the mix. The hops come out a little more towards the finish and give some more balance to the sweet malt up front. It has a medium body, soft carbonation and a smooth texture. Notes: This was a nice interesting and enjoyable beer.

Pour is amber with a thin white head. Aroma is weak but hints of malty caramel, earthy hops, and a bit of fruitiness. Taste is malty but some spice and bitter hops evident. Not a bad beer; drinkable, but nothing special.

Almost no aroma for some reason, average mouthfeel, and appearance. The best thing about this was the flavor there was a slight floral hop presence in it, a clean finish, refreshing. Overall it was o.k.

Had this one with breakfast (well, it WAS an 11:30 breakfast). The body was a nice, rich copper colour underneath an underwhelming thinnish white head. Aroma was better, with some nice hops and malt, but not strongly so. Taste was like the nose, and both mouthfeel and finish were refreshing. Worst thing was that it was served far colder than necessary, and I think this was detrimental to my enjoyment of this beer.

i am an idiot .... Pours a dark orange colour ... hearty lacing ... nice smell, wheat and some citrus ... average no frills taste, some nice sweetness, but doesn't really have a defining high point ... will do the job and it is quite drinkable but probably not again ....

This was a lighter and more refreshing beer than I was expecting. Poured a nice amber color with a thin head. It had a nice aroma and taste, both of which was perfectly balanced.

Pours hazy coppery color and a thin off-white head that diminished quickly leaving some spotty lacing. Aroma is yeasty, along with some citrus and floral hops. Flavor is sweet malts and citrus hops. A light, crisp spring beer with good carbonation.

Color is a beautiful clear reddish-amber, with a little bit of head that persists somewhat. Aroma is not strong, but it is invitingly malty and spicy. Flavor is mainly malty with strong overtones of spice, mostly cinnamon and cloves. Smooth and refreshing, lively and zingy, this is a beer for sipping and savoring.

Overall this is a good beer. Its drinkable. Sadly I didn't think there was anything special about it to rate it above average. I really didn't think of it as a spring brew. still good though and is a value buy
