Deep amber body with a moderate white head, the nose has touches of grain, citrus, caramel, and soap. Light to medium body, carbonated. The flavor was citrusy but like the glass was not rinsed of a soapy residue. Not appealing.

Pours to a rust colored body with a thin white head and nice lacing. The aroma is really floral. The flavor is floral and toasty. Too floral for my tastes. The palate is bitter and carbonated.

There is not much to this beer. Light malt aroma. Minimal hops and a gold color. It is too light and thin.

Copper color with no head. Musty hop aroma. Dry grain flavor with nothing else. No bitterness at all.

Spoiled grain nose that was palatable if the only other option is a macro. No head. Stale grain body with a watery finish.

Bottle. Pours copper/amber. Bright white head with decent lacing. Not too much on the nose: a bit of spicy hops, slightly dry. Decent carbonation. Very dry hoppiness. Not so much on the citrus/pine. A tad watery. Sessionable pale, but lacks complexity.

Bottle. Very nice peach/apricot malt aroma with slight hops. Hazy orange amber with moderate head. Pronounced malt flavor for an APA expertly blended with the piney hops. I really enjoy this beer due to it having a much stronger malt flavor than the average APA. Good stuff.

Bottle from Chalet Party Shoppe in Goshen, IN. Pours a medium amber orange with sudsy off white head. Strange aroma of green hops, wet grains, must, and yeast esters. Initial flavor of caramel, toasted grains, and tea that transitions to muted grassy hop middle. Finish had a slight citrus tartness. Some of the malt profile has a german vibe to it. Not bad, but it’s missing something that I can not pinpoint.
