review: Ninkasi Brewing Spring Reign Ale

Today's beer adventure: Ninkasi Brewing Spring Reign Ale (Oregon, USA). 355ml bottle. 6.0% ABV. Served in pint glass. Purchased during a recent trip to Plentywood, MT. $9.99USD for a sixer plus all the fees the Canadian and SK governments add on at the border....about $13.00 for the six.

The pour is a red/amber with only a small amount of white head. Low carbonation. Nose is floral, orange, lemon, little bit of sweet malt. Been down this road before.. :)

The flavour is tart lemon, lime and orange. Malty in the middle. A bit of floral hop on the finish. Crisp, light mouthfeel. 

Rating is 7/10 dogs. Seasonal release. Nice beer. I think I like the Total Domination IPA better though.
