Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA Oct 1, 2009 12oz bottle. Light honey colored pour. Thick white head. Malty, floral nose. Nice balance with it leaning toward the malt near the front. Slight hop bitterness near the end. DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Jan 23, 2009 Bright orange, thick off-white head with early scant lace. Very fruity aroma of nectarines and melons. Caramel malt and citrus resinous hops, surprisingly little of the fruit aroma translates onto the palate. Very flavourful and very sessionable! chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA Oct 14, 2008 Pours a dark hazy straw color with minimal whitish head. Aroma of hops and grapefruit. Taste is bitter (too bitter for the style) to the point where it affects drinkability, otherwise this would have been rated higher. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 30, 2008 Pours hazy deep dark straw with off-white head. Nose is juicy wet hops, tropical fruit. Tastes piney hoppy, with a solid malt bill, and some grapferuit, tangerine, and piney notes. LtDan (470), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA Sep 5, 2008 A refreshing classic. Great floral aroma, crisp bitter hops in the taste. Highly drinkable, and very hoppy for those looking to veer away from the maltier Pale Ales. obguthr (986), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Apr 23, 2008 Paprika, grapefruit and wood aroma. Cloudy golden pour, no head. Floral marigold on the palate but virtually flavorless. SamGamgee (1394), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA Mar 20, 2008 Updated: Mar 21, 200812oz bottle. Clear amber-gold with a white head; some sediment. Smells like nectar, honey, and flowers. Sweet like honey flavor, with a little hop balance, but definitely a mild pale ale. Nice malt fruitiness, but could use a little more hop bite and bitterness. Light body with smooth carbonation, and a slight stickiness. Really fruity and sweet for an apa, but pretty drinkable. asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA Mar 4, 2008 Pours clear golden with moderate, dense, bubbly, off-white head. Some lacing, slowly dissapating. Pungent hop aroma is pine, passionfruit, flowery, along with light toffee in the background. Flavor is mild toasty grain flavors with assertive strains of delicate very fresh tasting fruit-like and floral hop flavors, very slight hop resin in the palate, as well. Finish has very mild bitterness and leaves a wonderful floral flavor lingering all over the mouth. I love this brewery! Hop profile is outstanding; still, very well-balanced.
