argo0 (6176), Washington DC, USA Jul 24, 2004 (RBSG04) Off-white head atop clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, caramel, pine. Medium body, some chewy. A bit big for an APA, not that I’m complaining. duff (5405), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jun 9, 2004 Tap@The Pilsner Room. Pretty hoppy. Sweet hops, fruity hops. Lychees everywhere, nice light pale malts, good balance, pretty tasty. Quite fruity. BückDich (4540), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 8, 2004 Tap @ The Pilsner Room in Portland Clear bronze color with faint, almost no head, plenty of carbonation though. The aroma is lightly spicy & citrusy, some light earthyness and a notable malt foundation. The flavor is very balanced & hoppy but not overly so. Finishes with a 2-rowish quality. Good APA, pretty solid. acrdz (4302), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jul 23, 2004 Slightly murky yellow. Musty, leafy hop nose, sugars and a very sweet peach flavor initially, then the hop bitterness takes hold... peachy and leafy, stale paper flavor eventually, ending with a mild hopped buzz. Ernest (4229), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jun 15, 2005 Draught, Falling Rock’s 8th Anniversary Party.
