May 26, 2008 In the bomber bottle from HyVee CB. Pours a rich dark gold with a large beige head. A fairly classic pale ale. Grapefruit and mild pine aroma. A very nice hop aroma. Flavor has just a dab of butterscotch mixed with the orange and grapefruit citrus taste. Nice malty finish. This is a good bottled pale ale. Better than SNPA.

Apr 30, 2008 22 oz. bomber courtesy of CelticBrew, and shared with him as well. Slightly hazy gold pour, a little unexpected for the style, but with a substantial white head that lasted nicely and showed some good lace. Aroma of light honey, citrus and some distant pine. Medium body and carbonation, with a mildly resinous mouthfeel. Good balance between the light malt flavors and a citrus rind bitterness that comes on at the end for a pleasingly dry finish.

Apr 23, 2008 Pours a very hazy amber-orange, forming large foamy head. Aroma of pines, a bit of wet forrest, caramels with malts. Flavour is full bodied, malt, hops with pines. Some what sticky, with a smooth charatcter that makes it easy drinking beer. A bit tart at the end. Superb beer, would love to try on tap.

Apr 3, 2008 Bomber/pint glass. Poured a fairly hazy orange, small white head. Nice floral aroma. Toasted malt with a nice crisp piny hop finish. A little overly fizzy, but a solid APA.
