Appearance: lightly hazy, peachy golden hue, capped with a nice layer of creamy foam.
Aroma: oily and citric, on the quiet side, but still hoppy and fruity, getting better and bigger with time, actually, showing more of the grapefruit esters, some orange and lemon, a touch of pine...I like it!
Taste: zippy and tangy, fresh and fruity, with a thinnish body, and bashful finish. Hops lay on the palate for a decent length, and tingle the tongue with each new sip. A bit mild, but it has it's merits. Were I a Fargo-ite, this would do very nicely.
According to the brewer, this is made with American two row and crystal malts, and hopped with Cluster, Amarillo, Centennial, and Cascade.
Very clean and smooth-drinking, and not lacking in taste. Not full enough in flavor to really please a hop-head like me, but this ale fails in that in order to favor appeasability, and I can't quarrel with that.
