Aug 8, 2004 Pours a golden color, with a hint of red. Not very hoppy. Has a pretty sweet taste. Aftertaste reminds me of Ruffles.

Jul 12, 2004 Bottle. Thin layer of bubbles on a golden body. Nose is nice-floral and hoppy. Taste is very straightforward-floral and hoppy with a lemony bite. Very nice. Tastes like an IPA light. Finish is a little bitter and very mellow. Best APA I have ever had, next to Sierra Nevada.

Jul 3, 2004 (12-ounce bottle) This is actually a pretty nice APA, which shouldn’t be surprising since Lagunitas does a solid job with their other beers; Fairly malty, moderately sweet and quite fruity (peach/sweet apricot) for the style with a mildly bitter hops that balances the beer somewhat, allowing the malt to show some dominance; Slightly toasty late in the finish; Nice, malty nose is minimally hoppy; Light golden color and slightly hazy, and the bottle sediment indicatess some modest bottle conditioning; Whitish head drops down to a sheen with some large bubbles, but leaves a modest amount of lacing

Jun 3, 2004 A very drinkable example of the west coast pale ale. Nice hop bite, clean finish and not trying to be an IPA

May 6, 2004 Color, a clear, pale apricot, adorned with a fresh, fluffy, off-white head.
Nose is soft, airy, citric, and just a little complex.
Taste: yeasty at the onset, fruity, with a generous helping of hops at the front, pleasing the tongue and all the corners of the mouth, gently fading, though the finish is tasty and long. Well-balanced, very smooth and drinkable, friendly, and delicious.

May 2, 2004 Bottle pours hazy amber, small white frothish head, light lacing, and even lighter carbonation. Slight citrus & malts on the nose. Grapefruit, hops, and slight pine up front. A nice malty bitterness comes forth in the middle and runs through to the finish. Slight pine in the aftertaste. Light, decent bodied, non-offensive APA.
