Dark amber, creamy off white head. Soft dried citric aromas ride soft swirls of toffee biscuits throughout. Well balanced flavors of light bitter citric hop tones riding an earthed toffee and grain-like backbone. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Very sessionable for football Sunday’s…

Dec 14, 2009 Clear, deep amber appearance with an average size beige head that left good lacing. Subdued, citrus (orange) aroma. Nice, bitter, hoppy flavor that is not overwhelming. Some sweet malts reach the palate before the hops retake the aftertaste. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a lasting finish.

Dec 9, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a coppery brown color with a ivory head that fades to a thin layer leaving a little spotty lace. Aroma of earthy malts & floral hops with a bit of graininess. Taste has a full hop bitterness with a malty balance. Very smooth and refreshing.

Nov 24, 2009 Poured a nice amber color with a good sized off white head. Floral hop aroma. Citrus hop flavor with some toffee. Finished moderately bitter and was balanced well by the malt. Not a bad APA at all, another good beer from a good brewery.

Oct 31, 2009 I really liked this APA. It’s smooth, drinkable, flavorful and enjoyable. This beer pours an amber color with a big, generous and soft white head. The head leaves a decent amount of lacing around the glass. There really isn’t much to the aroma, with only very subtle hints of hops, grass, earth, bread and caramel malt noted. The body, though, as mention, is extremely smooth and drinkable. It has an almost creamy tone to it that makes this beer that more drinkable. This would make for a good session beer. The flavors are very well-rounded and balanced, with crisp notes of hops and bready malt, with hints of grapefruit, biscuits, floral notes, grass and earth. The finish is also balanced with some mildly spicy notes complimented by bready and earthy malt tones. This is definitely an enjoyable and satisifying pale ale.
