Bottle thanks to kyzr: Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh piny hops and some mild pale maltiness. Body starts with decent fullness and light malty sweetness with a crisp bittersweet hoppy balance toward a crisp finish. A pretty decent APA.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear bright copper with a fading off-white head that leaves a little lace. Soft caramel citrus nose. Light body, medium carbonation. Grainy caramel taste with a dry pine and earth finish. Not a bad APA, and actually a pretty bold statement from a part of the country that is slow to discover microbrews.

May 26, 2008 An amber appearance on this one. The aroma contains some dark fruits, caramel, and grapefruit. The flavor is slightly bitter but also has a decent amount of malt in it. Some grapefruit and lemons show through. Overall an ok one diminesional session beer.

May 16, 2008 Bright amber gold, moderate white head. Mostly fruity, slightly resionous hop aroma with underlying caramel malts. Same on the palate, with an apricot fruitiness to the hop character. Very drinkable.
