Feb 2, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Clear attractive amber colour. Lasting thin beige head. Certainly hoppy, but more peppery hoppy tongue stinging hoppy than PNW hoppy. Some ok nutty caramel malts. Some sweetness and richness. Carbonation makes it a bit metallic. Some fruit salad in there somewhere. Fine.

Jan 30, 2009 (11/23/08) Draught at Hop Leaf in Chicago. Hazy amber color with a medium, stable, off-white head. Aroma of malt, some toasted notes, caramel, fruits, and some slightly floral, slightly earthy, hops. Sweetish malty flavor at first with some caramel and light biscuit hints, continues pleasant and bitter with some grapefruit. Medium-bodied.

Jan 24, 2009 Not bad, but not great. Typical APA trappings in the aroma and taste. Nothing really stood out.

Jan 4, 2009 12 oz. bottle for $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, deep amber body with a foamy, frothy, whitish head. Splotchy lacing.
Smell: Aroma smelling of toast and grains and fragrant spicy hops with just a faint, faint hint of lemon zest.
Taste: Pale malts, lightly grainy, with flavors of dark caramel and toasted bread crusts. Faint fruitiness. Medium toffee-like sweetness present. Spicy, citrusy hops with a medium bitterness. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Relatively smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Not bad! Though not exactly stellar, it is an above average American Pale Ale.

Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured clear amber color. Not much head, poor retention, and some lacing. A mild fruitiness. Some citrus. Sweet malty. Herbal hop aroma.
Taste has a good hoppy backbone. Good balance with hop and malt characters. Malts give off some caramel, but the main focus is hop bitterness and earthy flavor. Medium body. Good carbonation and smooth.

Dec 25, 2008 Blah. Not a good APA. Aroma was so so. Mostly vinous with caramel malt. Pour was a light brown with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was thin and weak. Tasted stronger than 6%. Thin caramel malt with a staleness to it. I could detect no hops in this beer which is bad for an APA. I loved their other beers, but this one just doesnt cut it
