Amazing texture and flavor, like a fine Abbey Ale. Almost Duvel-ish, that good!!! Trader Joes in San Francisco once had cases of this stuff going for a buck a bottle, THEE most amazing store "special" blowout ever encountered. I bought as much as I could carry. Never see it in LA. Scumptious!!!

Cloudy medium gold pour with quickly fading white head. Very nice aroma at 1st with a touch of malt, and fragrant hops, that turned malty and a bit overly yeasty and bready as it warmed. Taste is very balanced with a nice malt and hop presence with a touch of yeasty flavor coming in soon after all with a minimum bitterness. Very good and drinkable all around with a light hoppy finish.

An average pale ale. The hops are a bit to mild and the beer is out of balance. I also taste some citrus flavors. Middle of the road pale ale.

Bottle. Pours clear light golden with a large foamy white head. Aroma is grainy and vegetal, with lots of yeast and bread, slightly sweet, and just a hint of hops. Taste is biscuity and yeasty with a backbone of slightly sweet malt and a moderate amount of bittering hops. This isn’t really an APA, but it’s pretty good if considered as a blonde ale. In any case I think it’s considerably better than the ratings would indicate.

12oz bottle from Trader Joe’s: Clear golden amber color with a medium fading white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is sweet with a touch of apricot with a soft spicy bitterness and a lightly dry orangy finish. Light bodied, clean and smooth with moderate carbonation.

fat weasel is another in a long line of below average ales. Not much flavor, not very hoppy, and somewhat over carbed. wouldnt try it again.
