An orange beer with a dense light orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, and the hops also gives it notes of citrus and oranges. The flavor is sweet, yet somewhat acidic, with a hoppy note lingering in the background. The end is dry and bitter with quite a lot of grapefruit.

Slightly hazy golden-bronze. Woody aroma, slightly appley with a hint of pears. Straightforward, hints of caramel, hop, maybe wood. Pretty bland.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of skunky week, caramel, floral, and a little earthy. Tastes of caramel and citrus. Had a lighter tart finish that was out of place.

Bottle... Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival ‘08... Clear golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The nose provides lots of sweet toffee and caramel with only whispers of earthiness and peppery hops; not a good start for an APA. Barely medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Way too sweet and not bittered nearly enough to compensate. Heavy sweetness followed by barely moderate bitterness... as an APA, these elements should be totally reversed. Finishes sickeningly sweet with just a tinge of bitterness. Not a terrific drinking experience for me, and I’m a malthead.

Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and some piny resiny fresh hops. Body starts with some mild caramel sweetness and decent bittering and flavor hop presence toward a slightly grapefruity finish. A decent APA.
