Jun 12, 2008 Courtesy of Skyview. Copper color with a large head. Citrusy aroma. Very leafy hop taste, like I just buried my face into a handful of fresh hops. Bitter, acidic taste. A little caramel malt body.

Jun 11, 2008 Picked up a single 22-oz bomber from Liquid Solutions in Portland, OR. Pours a semi-clear golden amber brew with a thick off-white head that dissipates to a thin creamy head and some spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus zest, some light caramel malt, a touch of toffee and some white pine. Taste is quite dry bitter, medium bodied, with flavors of light caramel malt, pine, grapefruit and some vegetable. Finish is dry bitter with a lingering grapefruit aftertaste. One of the more heavy bitter APA that would challenge an IPA character beer.

May 28, 2008 Dark golden alomost burnt orange beer, with a very large off white head, thats very thick.
Aroma pretty strong citus style hopping, malts weakly behind.
Very hoppy even for a West Coast Pale. Citric hops, all through, weak malt backing, hops wear out a bit in the middle of the mouthful, then re-emerge in all their glory in the back of the throat and linger ever after.
Nice enough on the palate, nothing extraordinary for style.
Over all a nice hoppy Pale. on the verge of IPA territory

May 27, 2008 Powerfull APA. Huge head, bitter citrus hops, enough malt sweetness to try to balance. Would drink this anytime offered.
Damn good APA.

May 17, 2008 A pretty mainstream, standard presentation on this widely-tried style. You could substitute it for SNPA and you wouldn’t go wrong.
