Apr 12, 2009 Clear copper pour, medium head, medium lace. Dusty piny aroma. Nice carb, but a lot of bitterness and some spicy piny flavor. A little bit of floral aftertaste sneaks in at the end. Decent, but nothing special.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle in Nashville. Pours a cloudy brown-orange colour wtih a HUGE, foamy offwhite head. Aroma has the normal hops but also some dusty malts. Fruity hop flavour up front but a strange, flat bitterness in the finish. Hops well balanced with the malt but the finish confused me.

Apr 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cooper color with a nice white head. Aroma is weka, but hops and citrus stand out. The taste is strong with grassy hops and wheat. The finish is a nice bitter bite, almost what one would expect from an IPA. Pretty good beer, will have to try again.

Apr 9, 2009 Pours a hazy copper color. Tons of floaters. Little to no head at all. Weak aroma and a little dirty smelling. The hop flavor in this tastes very fresh, almost like a wet hopped beer only not as intense or harsh. Lots of hop flavor and some bitterness. Malt backbone is a little weak.

Apr 8, 2009 In short: A heavy/dirty APA with a resinous and citrusy hopping. Decent beer even if not refreshing
How: Bottles 12oz. Tasting session with Montreal crew. Age unknown but probably fresh.
The look: Cloudy dark orange body topped by a small beige head
In long: Nose is resinous and citrusy. Body is rather fluffy/yeasty for the genre. An overall (not unpleasant) dirty feeling. Dirty caramel malt backbone. Resinous and citrusy hops. A wood juice/wood sap flavour. This is a tasty brew but this is not a refreshing APA that I would drink in large quantities, to the contrary it feels a bit heavy and sticky. Another nice brew from this Kentucky brewery, the state with five million people and fifteen last names.

Apr 7, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours copper with a thin fizzy white head. Smells very floral and piney. Taste is very harsh, bitter, and overly carbonated. The malt flavor is bad and watery, and the hops were all smell. When i first opened the bottle, the smell was fantastic. I couldnt wait to try it. It went downhill from there. I can only drink this one. Im prbably going to give the rest away.

Apr 4, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This quaffable American Pale Ale develops a perfumy, spicy and citrusy hop intensity balanced out by lightly biscuity, caramelized cereals for a very approachable example of the style.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the veiled amber.
-The finishing hop bitterness is spicy and quite leafy.
-The mouthfeel is lean and rather bubbly.
-The flavor profile is balanced, but not necessarily memorable.
Bottle; best before May ’09.
