12 oz bottle from Hill-re-re. Amber with orange, clear appearance and med sized, white, creamy head. Orange, sweat malt, nice hops aroma. Med body with creamyness, and lots of biting carb. Flavor is malt sweetness, banana, citrus, hop bitterness is almost choclate in nature. Interesting.

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.

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.

pours a semi-hazy orange with an egg-shell head, good lacing.
smell is of grain, some citrus, touch of caramel, some nuts.
taste is crisp, grain, malt in the back, caramel, citrus throughout, slight sour finish, some bitterness also in the end.
