Clear deep amber, moderate bubbly head. Immediate hop nose which continues into a floral hop flavor and finish. Perhaps the first true modern American pale ale, and still one of the best.

Aug 21, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours slightly orange gold with a medium white head. Aromas of citrus hops, pale malts, some sweetness and what I want to describe as some mild strawberry aroma. Flavor is solid, with pale malts and citrus and spicy hops. Little caramel in there, too. Overall an excellent APA with a nice, strong balance of hops and malts.

Aug 20, 2008 This beer pours a hazy golden color with an off white head that is quite dissapating. The aroma is like a pilsner, with very faint aroma of fruity notes in the nose. The mouthfeel is light like a summer pilsner. Faint sweet malts in the nose. Some spicy Cascade notes in the flavor. Not too impressive. Not bad though. Guess a good lighter summertime beer. Good for a BBQ.
