cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Aug 19, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a large ass three finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma has a slight sour note to it. Flavor is lightly sweetened toasted malt, and light floral and herbal hops. Medium body. Kind of an odd PA. Decent. Like to try a fresh bottle sometime. Thanks Bill. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Aug 9, 2009 Beautiful orange hue and a pleasant aroma. Sour and a little lacking on taste. For an American Pale Ale, not bad, but tries to be something else. nuplastikk (1159), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jul 31, 2009 Draft at the High Noon Saloon (Disappears). Mild faint bitter aroma. Translucent orange color, hard to really tell in the club lighting. Somewhat soapy and dry, with a nice pleasant hop character. Earthy and toasty, with a smooth, sweet, watery finish not unlike a British Ale. Pretty well done beer, quite sessionable but still assertive. nbutler11 (729), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jul 11, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Bill’s cooler of generosity. Pours a reddish copper color with a creamy off-white head. Smells and tastes of waxy grapefruit and HOPS. Hearty in consistency with plenty of malt on the palate. I appreciate the bite. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jun 28, 2009 Bottle wife bought for me from Wis. Decent floral aroma. Cloudy copper body with white head. Had some decent citrus hop to start with but middle to finish a sticky malt grain flavor that wasn’t to refreshing on the palate. Narnad (681), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Mar 4, 2009 Poured a light cloudy amber color with a thin filmy head. Aroma has a faint apricot aroma with come light floral hops and Munich malt. Flavor starts off with the apricot fruitiness up front, which fades about 1/4 of the way through the tasting into the floral hops and finally ending with a very nice Munich malt presence. Beer has a good density for the style and finishes slightly dry. Overall the malt flavor does come through really well at the end, lending a nice bitterness to finish off the semi-sweet start. Good beer. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 16, 2009 courtesy of abents.
Pours hazy copper/orange with white head.
Aroma is engulfed by a fresh hoppy nose.
Comes across spicy with some mead-like sweetness and faint vinegary bitterness.
Taste fruity with plenty of citrus to be felt, good floral hops with light pale caramel malts.
Well balanced, overall sweet with light touch of bitterness, tingly peppery palate. noncaloric (601), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 29, 2008 Aroma: Grapefruit, pine, oatmeal, all in generous measure. Appearance: Hazy amber body, enormous off-white head, gobs of lacing all the way down the glass. Flavor: Worty malts take the lead, caramel, oatmeal, vanilla. A significant hop presence rounds gives an aromatic kick, pine, peppermint, black pepper. Finishes fruity, especially grapefruit. Palate: Smooth, peppery hops provide a warming sensation.
