12oz. Bottle: Aroma of hops, fruit, tropical fruit, pineapple, and tangerine. Poured golden/amber in color with a small, white head that diminished but lasted around the edges. Cloudy. Not sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Flavor is medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of hops, tropical fruit, tangerine, and pale malts. Cloyingly sweetness. Medium body. Oily, slick texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, hoppy, finish is full of tropical fruit.

Bottle from my secret santa. thanks! pours a cloudy orange with a thick, rock solid, long lasting white head. Nose is fruity, spicy, toffee, butter. Flavor is sweet, and sort of De Dolle-like in character. Mild bitterness in the finish and a bit of heat which is a little surprising. Overall, a nice, different, apa.

Rating #1200. Bottle thanks to scrizzz. Pours a hazy golden orange with a lasting off white foam. Nice pine, spicy hoppiness, a good body of toffee and caramel, a touch of red apples and fruit. Taste puts the caramel, toffee, apples more up front. A trailing pine resin hoppiness and lingering bitterness make a solid APA.

Bottle thanks to BMan1113VR. Aromas are of not much but maybe some fruit and soap. Pours a dirty orange with minimal head, but the taste is actually really good. Some floral hops, a little bit of sweetness, some fresh cut grass, and a light bitter at the end. Nothing special but as far as an APA, its not bad.

Bottle from Hollingshead’s.. Pours cloudy golden with no head.. Aroma has a fruity sweetness to it, can’t really pick anything out... Flavor is sweet kinda like a light apple juice with a hop bite at the end.. Overall easy as hell to drink.

Golden color, no head. Sweet aroma. Good balance of hops. A bit of bitterness in after taste. Very refreshing.

Bottle from Lone Hill Liquors, thanks Stan! Pours clear gold with minimal head. Aroma has citrusy-sweet, suggesting lemon. Flavor has pilsner-esque grassy notes, matched with lemon and herbal tea. Finishes dry and light. Very refreshing, reminded me of Victory Prima Pils.

Bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Thanks! Pours golden color with off white head. Aroma was grainy. Medium light mouthfeel. Flavor was grainy like the nose and has a nice finish. This was what I expected.
