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!

On tap at the Cincinnati airport taproom, 4/2/06: Good copper color with a gluey head. Sharp grapefruity bite right up front. Bit of a metallic tinge. Almost a woodchip factor. Very good.

Rich nose of pine and citrus, spice, caramel & flowers. This brew pours a hazy orange amber. The off white creamy head is mostly lasting with a thin bubbly sheet of lace. The brew is bitter through and through with a full hops blast, and a high citric acidity. The finish is deep. The light to medium body is soft to lively and very dry.

This was fantastic. I had a huge glass of this in the Louisville Airport. Wish we had a place like this at home. Don’t you Piscator?

This beer fits the profile of an APA very well, which is a good thing in my book. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a light bronze color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma is sweet and has a strong citrus fruitiness. The flavor is moderately sweet an nutty with strong fruity hops - citrus and pine most noticeably. There is a dryer floral hop finish. A nice APA.

12 oz. Bottle. Big sweet floral/citrus nose. Pours slightly murky light amber/orange with an off white head and sticky lacing. Nice citrus hoppiness with a sweet malt background. Very balanced.

For starters... this is my daily drinker. If i’m buying a basic beer to drink and not really think about... i probally knock out 2 six-packs of this weekly. Not to mention that we have this on tap at the restaurant i work at... so it’s my nightly shift beer as well... Hence why i never got around to rating this.Pours medium golden with full frothy head. Aroma is blooming w/ hops. Honestly this beer is probaly a bit overly bitter... but i’ve grown a bit used to it. Hoppiness lingers in the mouth and begs me to drink more.

Draught at brewpub. Pours light copper with whitish head. The aroma is earthy hops, dirt, and grass. The flavor is generally bitter with grains and an unpleasant vegetal finish. The aftertaste is very grainy. Not one of my favorites.
