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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
