Commercial Description:
An American standard, BBC APA is a full bodied and heavily hopped American Ale. It is copper in color and brewed with a blend of pale and crystal malts, balancing the citrus and pine flavors from large doses of American and English hops to create a very drinkable, hoppy ale. BBC APA is a hophead’s dream!

This my first Bluegrass beer. It is a good one. The hops citrus aroma comes at you as your nose enters the glass. The head is frothy and laces down the glass. This is one of my first beers of Christmas ’06. I like the raw hops that gives this beer its appeal. The cloudy amber ale is one of the best I have enjoyed in awhile. I have purchase more from this brewer. It is a good APA.

Bottle from Beer_Hawk; Nose of citrus hops; slightly hazy copper color with a small beige head; flavor of bitter hops with a tiny bit of caramel, the bitterness lasts for a long finish.

Nice slightly sour hop bite over a lightly toasty malt backbone. Good looking amber pour with a smallish white head. Fairly rich for an APA. Nice.

An excellent go-to APA for those living in the distribution area. Better, and hoppier if you get it at the brewry or in a growler. A good looking copper amber body is nicely carbonated and has a nice head and good lacing. Aroma and taste are identical, with pine, citrusrind, and a solid caramel maltiness. Nice balance, with some hints of pine, grass, and earthy hops in the finish. Quite sessionable!

Slightly hazy but mostly clear dark amber with a creamy, dense off-white head. Piney, citrusy hop nose of moderate intensity. Flavor has notes up front of toasted malt/caramel, bread, toffee then cascade-y pine and grapefruit. Moderately sweet with proper APA-level bitterness. Slightly resinous on the tongue, which I like. Medium bodied with a creamy, smooth texture and moderate carbonation. Great lacing and head retention. A classic American Pale Ale.

Bottle best by Mar 07. Poured a hazy brownish orange with a frothy off-white head that settled but left some light lacing. The aroma was hoppy with hints of malts. The flavor had some fruits followed by caramel and spices. A mild bitterness throughout. Medium body.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a nice off-white head aboard. Nose is fruity and malty. Flavor is nice fruit carmelized apples, fresh oranges with a slight hopping and very smooth. I thought this was really good and could definately make a wonderful session brew.
