Bottle. Small white head. Slightly cloudy amber-gold. Pretty flat. Average hops aroma, citrusy. Light initial flavor leads to surprisingly lasting, bitter finish; big hoppy aftertaste that lasts.

Only a true hop fan can appreciate this beer!!! Don’t even try you poseurs! Well thats the impression the bottle gives. Not really that great. Not bad by any means just not super enjoyable. Lacks a certain FLAVA

Bottle. Medium sized white creamy and smooth head that was mostly lasting with fine-small sized bubbles, cloudy, and a yellow hue. Musty hoppy aroma. Flavor was somewhat sweet, lightly bitter and hoppy. Hoppy mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied APA.

This beer is an exercise in mediocrity. It simply doesn’t stand out; rather, it is content to finish in the middle of the pack. It’s not a bad beer by any means; it’s just not a beer worthy of much praise.

As soon as I finished drinking this beer in the kitchen, I headed upstairs to the computer to enter a rating, and as soon as I set foot on the first step I had completely forgotten any distinguishing features of the beer. Such is the life of it. Moderate yellow with a hint of light floaties that either reflected an older bottle or just my failure to clean the glass properly, there was a well rounded citrus, hop note, a very gentle bite in the finish, and dry, broadly fruity theme throughout. Adequate/normal palate. Not a bad session beer at all, with lots that made it easy to drink aside some homemade quesadillas, though as I said, there wasn’t much to remember it by--easily forgettable.

This American Pale Ale is ok. Hop, citrus, and yeast flavors. Finishes clean, thin, and dry.

Bottle from onlyfinebeer. Bottle conditioned, pours bright, medium lasting head. Aroma of peach, citrus, hops, mild yeast. Good body, long dry finish. Lots of cascade hops but balanced. Nice thirst quencher despite the ABV.
