There was barely any fizz and no noise at all as it poured. The head didn't want to really show itself and there were barely any bubbles in it. Otherwise, it had a thin apple pie taste and I just drained the rest. This had to be a bad bottle. There was barely any life when I opened it. There doesn't seem to be too much to this anyway, but I'll make sure to re-rate when I get the chance. There seems to definitely be a lack of carbonation. This was like a bitter apple soda that was left open in the fridge. I'm sure it's better so I'm not going to rape the score.

Orange Copper hue with small head and no lacing, thin-bodied. Fruity aroma of apples and pears, some maltness undertones. Hoppy flavor (but not very aggressive) with a clean finish. Fizzy and thin mouthfeel. A drinkable session ale, nothing more.

The head was small and white with small bubbles that quickly dissipated. The carbonation was fizzy and there was no lacing. The hue was pale orange. The nose was apples and peaches. The flavor was light in hops and the mouthfeel was tingly, thin and watery. I am not a fan of Pale Ales, but this one was drinkable.

This brew poured a small head of fine to medium sized white bubbles that left very little lacing and a hazy carbonated light orange brwon body. It has a sweet apple aroma and a mild hop initial flavor followed by a slight tingling mouthfeel with a tingly lingering bready hop flavor.

Light orange color and a thin head with lots of tiny bubbles floating to the top. Slightly grainy sweet nose. Some apple and peach fruit flavors with a nice hop finish. Maybe a little thin, but I bet would be great with a burger.

Less than attractive aroma, light cheese. Flavor is much better, though, but palate is watery. With moderate bready malt character and a light hoppy finish.

Deep golden color with a fairly thick head. malt is light but hops surely bite you. Very balanced APA.

Strong presence of cascade hops right away from a deep golden, thick headed ale. Biting hops in the taste, almost soapy and rough. Malts are light and hidden. The balance comes out as it warms, leaving a thick, grassy, soapy, bitter aftertaste.
