RealPoser (22), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 28, 2009 Pours very pale amber... looks like apple juice. Beautiful thick white head, ok retention with decent lacing. Aroma of baked bread, resin and slight citrus. Taste is citrus peel, earthy hops and solid malt backbone. Pretty thin on the tongue, with slight carbonation. Finishes dry with a bitter linger that is pleasant. Overall a tasty sessionable APA shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 7, 2009 Pours a light copper color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, crystal malts, and some citrus hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, crystal malts, and some earthy citrus hops. Foxbush (452), Richmond, Virginia, USA Sep 14, 2009 This was agreat experience. Coming home from work to settle under a decent APA is a pleasure. The golden color was very inviting with a white head. The floral citrus aroma was pleasent . The bitterness of the Cascade hops was well balanced with the malt. A smooth finish for medium body APA. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Sep 11, 2009 bottle from emacgee. Light amber in color with a small/medium off white head. Aroma of some mild citrus hops, with some bready pale malt character. Taste has some mild grapefruit/citrus, with some pale malts and lightly toasted malt. Sweetness is mild, overall well balanced, light to medium bodied. Bitterness was light to moderate in the finish. This was clean, a decent straight up session beer.

I admit I drank it out of the bottle. Aroma is weak. Flavor is totally dominated by bitterness. If that’s your thing, great, but it ain’t mine.
