Commercial Description:
We use generous amounts of American grain and a modest amount of American hops to make this American Pale Ale (APA). Enjoy its sweet maltiness and firm body. Born and Brewed American, it's the Greatest!

Falmouth American Pale Ale. Dirty orange. Disjointed aromas and flavors. Sharp and biting, not melded together well. Disappointing.

Bomber courtesy of dkachur. Pours amber with a white head. Smells earthy with some floral hints. Tastes of citrus, earthy, some resin, bitterness. Decent.

22 ounce bottle from Corks & Kegs in Richmond, VA. Pours a hazy reddish amber color with a half-finger head. Low retention and poor lacing. Vegetal hops in the aroma with some strangely sweet and salty flavors. Taste is bitter hops and butterscotch. Medium bodied with high carbonation. Diacetyl bomb.

Nice crisp copper coloured body with a bright orange highlight and a perfectly sized tan head. Aroma of fresh floral hops, grapefruit, honeycomb and candy sugar. Medium-bodied; Sharp pungent floral hoppiness with mild grapefruit and lemony tastes. Nice mellow finish without an overflow of hops, malt or sugar. Aftertaste shows proper hops, a good malty backbone and a perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, a good APA with nice flavours throughout. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased on 28-August-2008 from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 26-September-2008.

Growler from the brewery. Pours a deep dark orange. Perfect amount of hops and flavor, somehow the malt resembles a nice fruit taste(slightly). Good beer.
