| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 28, 2005 Draught @ brewpub: This one poured a somewhat orangish-amber color with a bit of a head. There was also a decent bit of lacing. The aroma is fairly decent, with a good bit of grapefruit and pine hops. Decent malt body with a bit of a malt kick. This almost treads into the IPA range.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 11, 2004 Sampled at Great Taste of the Midwest. Usually not a fan or APA?s, but this one was quite good, according to my, by this time, hard-to-read notes. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 2, 2004 Dark, hazy copper-amber; bright, leafy, pungent aroma. Fairly bitter throughout, a bit bland overall...fairly rough and unstructured, but still somewhat likable. The quality is there, it’s just not well put together. Some grapefruit wafts late.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 23, 2004 Hoppy aroma with a slightly sour aftertaste. Reddish amber color with an off-white head. Excellent lace. Hoppy, but slightly thin. Somewhat like a cask. Sampled on draught at the 9th annual Prairie Rock Brewfest in Elgin, IL. Rupp (13), Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2004 Amber colored, good hop nose, very low malt aroma, some caramel. Body is a little thin for my preference to balance hops, but still within style, has a good mix of malt and hops in taste, and finishes on the bitter side, but can be a little too carbonated at times, which makes for a thinner mouthfeel. Still a very good APA. Terminus (1955), Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 7, 2004 On tap at brewpub-This is my fav beer from this place, which is located in my hometown. I had a chance to visit this place on 1/3/04 and sampled what they had on tap at the time. This beer poured a nice deep orange appearance with nice lacing all around the glass. very piney/sweet hops in the aroma. good stiff bitterness, somewhat like gin. lots of grapefruit in the flavor.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 27, 2003 Orange red with a small white head. Big Cascade hop aroma that is somewhat spicy. Citric hop profile is moderately large, and the underlying malt is light but noticeable, expecially in the immediate aftertaste. A very full mouthfeel. Piney and delicious.
