This beer has a strong, piney smell. It appears to have a light orange color, is somewhat transparent, and has some head. Sniffing the beer, I find it has some citrus scents. Sipping the beer, I find it has a nice crisp taste. In addition, it's quite light and refreshing, with only a little bitterness at the end of each sip and a nice clean aftertaste. Apparently it's an English-style bitter. 8:51PM PT

New Glarus is fiercely loyal to its home state, growing to one of the largest breweries in the U.S. without selling a single drop outside of the borders of Wisconsin. With those local tastes in mind, New Glarus has perfected traditional German styles and invented masterful versions of complex and intense fruit beers featuring Wisconsin-grown ingredients.
