Fresh resiny hoppy nose with some lightly sweet toasty pale malt. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with a good crisp piny hoppy flavor and bitter balance before a drier bittersweet finish. A nice APA. jcwattsrugger (5374), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Poured hazy copper color with an average white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.
Solid drinkable brew that met my expectations. heemer77 (4304), Savannah, Missouri, USA

The beer was a little brighter and more enjoyable for me. Old rating follows. Tap at the brewery. The body was dark amber colored. The aroma was grapefruit and grass. The taste was bitter with some bread crust and grass. A decent brew, but a little boring. Suttree (2732), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
