I haven’t tried this one yet but plan to give it a try very soon.
Anyone care to share a review of this new seasonal?
Haven’t see it yet, but I’ll look around.
I bought a six pack of this after buying a single, and I am quite pleased with it. Definitely not overwhelming, but very pleasant, and certainly something I am looking forward to enjoying when it gets a little warmer out. Has a kind of “white wine” aroma that I hear is associated with Nelson Sauvin hops, and a little bit of lemony flavor from the Sorachi Ace. Other than that, I really like Sorachi Ace in Pale Ales (more so than IPAs, or Saisons), and it seems to work well with the Nelson Sauvin. So, I recommend it.
My husband and I have been drinking dig for almost a month now. we like it very much. Mild with a pleasant hop flavor.
If and when I find some, I will try this beer…thanx for the heads up Ron
Drinking one right now, without reading anything about it. My first impression was that it’s a bit odd. It has some of the strong malt/biscuit character of Fat Tire but with a firm, lingering, earthy and herbal bitterness. The aroma and flavor is kind of winey, though. Not my favorite.
Of course, I do have a cold right now.
It was pretty tasty stuff. IIRC it is SA hops.
I think you’re right on the SA.
Sampled a glass today. Good beer, not 2 below good or Mighty arrow good but not bad.
Had some at the brewery a few weeks ago. Thought it was pretty tasty pale ale.
i had a bottle last night. Not bad.
Had it on draft the other day and it was a lot better. The bottle just wasn’t fresh, and lost a lot of the hop flavor.
Usually a big fan of anything from New Belgium for a number of reasons, but this one didn’t do it for me. I think it’s the hops. I’m not a fan of Sorachi Ace, and found the aftertaste to be a little off-putting to my pallet. Way too piney for me. To each their own.
I found it a bit earthy but still tasty. It’s not something I’m looking for again though, I’ve tried it and I’m moving on.
I was expecting more hops from it after I read the description on the bottle. It was a pretty underwhelming beer, though it may make a good lawnmower beer once it gets hot outside(tomorrow).
I liked it because it was a little different. A little darker and maltier than many APAs I’ve been drinking and brewing. Good medium hoppy finish and like others said, a little more “earthy/floral” than “fruity”, but you can easily pick out the lemony Sorachi and I got a little of the grapefruit from the Cascade. Overall I think it’s a really good beer to transition from Winter into Spring.
Had a bottle of this beer last weekend. I thought it wast pretty tasty. It has an element of richness in the maltiness, kind of a biscuity flavor, yet it is somewhat crisp in the finish with a slight rounded hoppy element. I would’ve drank another bottle of this beer if I had one. Nice beer!
