Apr 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Spicy, sprucy, and fruity-jammy-orange-citrus sweet nose. An orange with cloves? The flavor has some sweet orange marmalade and spice. Some light citric hops leave a slight bitterness in the finish. The toasty, fruity malts leave a sweet body that the hops just cut through. If you are going for balance, this is close, but could be slightly dryer. Medium bodied with smooth bubbles and a slight stickiness. Pretty well done and balanced.

Apr 28, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s. The best kona beer I have had to date. Nice nose of citrus hops and caramel malt. Flavor follows suit. Better than your average APA, but still not too exciting.

Apr 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Well, I needed a beer to replace the Barrel House Red Legg that I ended up dumping down the sink, so I reached into the fridge and grabbed this one. Pours a hazy amber with a moderate linen white head that lasted through a few sips and left some light spotty lace. Pleasant aroma of malt and some bitter citrus. The flavor is very similar with some sweet malt up front and finishes with some bitter citrus. Very easy to drink. A nice solid APA.

Apr 23, 2008 Draught at Woody’s in Downtown Raleigh during a promotional event--I now own a grass skirt!!! Pours copper colored with a small white head. Aroma is mildly hoppy, with a faint caramel smell. Flavor is hoppy, citrus and grass, with a decent malt backbone. Pretty good beer.

Apr 20, 2008 Mild citrus hop aroma with a little malt presence. Flavor is lots of citrus hops with a clean bitter finish. A nice APA, espcially if you like hops. Nicely refreshing on a warm Kona night.

Apr 18, 2008 A very mild version of a pale ale. Goldish amber with a lightly hoppy nose. Flavor is soft hops over malt, mildly soapy. An okay version of the style.

Apr 17, 2008 draft at bahama breeze, florida. Enjoyed many of these in Hawaii as well. Nicely bittered, nice zesty pnw hops. Nothing overly special, but one to try and enjoy for sure.
