| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2009 12oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a slightly hazy gold with a sparse white head. Pretty subdued aroma of citrusy hops and some carmel malt. Solid malt base to this one with a crisp hop bite, but not a whole lot of bitterness. On the lighter side of medium body. Nice lingering dry finish from the hops, but not a mouth puckerer. Very drinkable, a solid Pale Ale. ante (2941), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Bottled. Pours out in a hazy golden colour with a small white head. Crisp and dry aroma of flowers, lemon-zest and grass with notes of lychee. Medium to light-bodied with notes of peaches and straw with a crisp medium-bitter finish of grass and lemon-zest.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 18, 2009 This is a very tasty pale, but not as unique as some of Founder’s other brews. It’s a soft, creamy beer with mostly citrus and floral hop flavors. Trev (867), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA

Aroma is floral and light citrus hop with some biscuity malt under that.
Flavour is more of the same.
Floral hop dominates, some earthiness to it. Light maltiness.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a cloudy gold with plenty of sediments and a small white head that leaves a few bubbles at the surface and a thin white rim. Aroma is subtle, with earthy hops, citrus, grass, and malts. The flavor isn’t quite as quiet, with all of those elements along with straw, alcohol, honey, yeast, and stronger hops than the aroma. Light-medium bodied, bitter, and refreshing. Very nice APA. beercamel (84), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 18, 2009 had in a 12 oz. bottle, pours dark golden honey color. Has a great flavor and hoppy taste. Scent is hops, grass, citrus, and thick malt. A great brew. obxdude10 (1557), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2009 This is a very delicious and enjoyable APA. It starts with an interesting pour of a dark golden color, but with a hazy appearance and orange hue. The head is big and fluffy with great lacing. The nose is full of hops, grass, lemon zest and bready malts. The body is smooth, slightly creamy, balanced and delicious. The flavors feature notes of pine, citrus, lemon, floral hops and grass. There is also a nice balance of bready malts. The finish is again a little creamy, but more of the hops come through, featuring a real spicy and dry note. I sampled this in a bottle, but I imagine this is even better from the tap. Great APA!
