Nice burnt-orange appearance with a one inch, off-white head. Great Brussel’s lace. A clean, fruity finish. Not fantastic, but worth a try.

I got this beer through my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a copper color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma is light floral hops with light tangy malts underneath.The flavor is light floral and fruity hops with light malts underneath. There is a sour nutty flavor on the finish. A very pleasant if unspectacular beer.

pretty mild for a APA but no bad. A golden-yellow hue slightly opaque. Thin white head. Aroma was mainly hops but with a mild sweet malt note. Flavor was a watery bitter hop with some sweet malt but it was mainly hoppy.

I don’t remember who brought it to the January gathering, but I think it was Mullman. Anyway, on with the rating. Poured a pale amber with a fizzy off-white head. Bubble gum and grapefruit hops aroma. Flavor is one-dimensional hoppiness with a toffee finish. Light, pretty straight-forward, not bad.

Pours cloudy yellow with 1 inch head. Weak hops aroma. Taste is bitter hops with a dry bitter aftertaste. Decent body, but too much acidity leaves the taste with hints of detergent.

In the bottle. Thanks to pman for this one! A January 2006 Beer-of-the-Month Club selection. Pours a pretty much expected rich gold color that just falls shy of amber. The head is thick, white and full of large carbonation foam bubbles. Residual lacing is pronounced. A mixed aroma that is a little pungent from the hops, but also a smell of cotton candy. Interesting complexity. Medium hop bitterness. Medium carbonation. Sort of a metallic mouthflavor resides far too long on the tongue. Has a lingering bitterness as it warms. The metallic taste hurts the beer.

(Bottle, best before 11/20/05 (oops!)) Cloudy yellowish amber pour, foamy biscuit head. Aroma: honeyish sweetness and malt. Mouthfeel smooth, pleasant. Good lacing. Tastes of malt, honey, grass, bitterness in varying order with each draw. Pretty good, nothing special.

This is a fairly light APA, but tasty and refreshing nonetheless. The aroma isn’t very strong, a mild caramel with grapefruit and resinous hop scents. Light bodied, it has a sweet caramel malt flavor with a nice balance of pine, grapefruit, and lemon zest bitterness. Nice lingering bitter finish. With a 5% abv, this is good session material.
