Hopdup (71), Tampa, Florida, USA Mar 9, 2008 12 oz bottle . Pours a darker yellow with a small white head. Slight smells of fruit and yeast. The taste is slightly sweet with some, not much, bitterness. A Very drinkable pale-ale.
Snojerk321 (1021), San Diego, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a nice, deep amber/gold, with a small white head that that retains well and leaves good lace. aroma is very nice, a combination of fruity, yeasty esters, citric American hops, and toasty malt. flavor is well-balanced, with a nice malt sweetness up front, followed by a crisp hoppy finish, with a very nice hop flavor through-out marksahara (79), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 7, 2008 12 oz bottle - Beer pours a deep orange with 2 fingers worth of ample fluffy off-white crown that has excellent retention. Aroma is dominated by citrus, floral, and resiny hops but supported by a strong sweet malt backbone that has a hint of honey. I could smell that all day. Flavour is dominated by hops from start to finish, with a fairly robust malt backbone to support the massive hop infusion. The hops were both floral and citrusy, they tasted much as they smelled. A residual sweetness is left on the tongue after the dry finish. A little too carbonated for my palate, but the medium body makes this pleasant to drink for a few pints. Definitely not a session beer but a great representative of a West Coast-style Pale Ale. Definitely worth a try on draught and possibly another purchase in the cooler. Hangover (681), Atlanta, USA Sep 27, 2008 Orange pour witha thin white head. Somewhat sweet and herbal aroma. Lots of malty flavor with caramel and sweetness. Some citrusy hops towards the finish. Toasty/bisquity finish. Average. caesar (2573), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Sep 8, 2008 Tap @ Full Sail PIlsener Room. Quite dark color for a pale ale. Malty and bitter.Quite thirst quenching.
