Jan 19, 2009 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, citrus and pine hops. I was hoping for a stronger flavor. Decent bitter finish that lingers. A good APA

Jan 13, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle sent from a friend in TN. Aroma is a little flowery and a little pineapple from the hops. Orange amber colored and a little hazy from the yeast in the bottle. almost no head. Citrusy hop flavor up front with a little toasted malt following. Medium body and a clean, dry finish with some lingering bitterness. Not a bad example of an APA.

Dec 23, 2008 12oz bottle best by April 09. Gusher. Huge fluffy white head, about 90% of the glass. Monstrously over-carbonated. A hazy yellow color is finally visible underneath the foam. Aroma shows citrusy hops. Lemon, lemon rind and a peppery quality that is more Saison-esque than pale ale. This thing really smells like a saison. Fascinating. Lots of esters and earthy spices. This head is crazy. The most pillowy white head I have ever seen. Anyways, the flavor is watery, somewhat peppery and spicy. Subtle fruitiness. I do not know where this beer went wrong but it really is more like a saison than a pale ale. I am unsure how to rate or judge this but let me just say this is a weird beer.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle back from Nashville. Pours a clear copper color with an aroma of caramel malt and nice floral hops. Caramel comes through to the flavor. The only hops you get though are on the finish with a grapefruit citrus and lasting metallic flavor.

Oct 16, 2008 Lots of bitter. Hops. Most of the ingredients of a fairly basic APA. Nothing stands out good or bad. Probably the best beer I had on tap at the pub in Louisville. But BBC is more like our local Flat Branch in quality. Right down the middle of average.
