BBB63 (3795), La Porte, Indiana, USA Apr 27, 2008 Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Thanks to who gave me this at DLD so I could finally rate a West Virginia beer:
Clean golden hue with a small but lasting frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of mild grassy and citric hops, wet pale grains, a hint of crystal malt and some butterscotch. The taste starts sort of twangy and mildly bitter with a dose of pale sweet malt in support. A light peppery spice upon the finish. The mouth feel is lively and has a papery finish. Okay, better than expected.
Linus_Stick (1521), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 Nice and easy to drink APA. Aroma was pretty weak. Cardboard, grassy hops and a hint of caramel. Pour was medium cloudy gold with no head. Taste was nice and bitter. Grass, hops and a mouth drying bitterness. Just a thin showing of sweet light malt to balance it out, but not very obvious. The hops are the showcase here. bacummings (8), Alabama, USA does not count Jun 4, 2008 Very clear, golden color. A bit bland flavoring, but a strong Hoppy bitter aftertaste, although it doesn’t stay on your tounge too long. kcmo19 (16), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA May 17, 2008 Updated: May 21, 2008Amber color with very little head. Smells of grapefruit and caramel. Thin body and not much carbonation. A little bitter and tastes of citrus and toffee. Overall it’s a pretty good beer. ChainGangGuy (1524), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Apr 29, 2008 Appearance: Pours a very clear body with just a hint of gold to it. Tiny white head dissipates quickly.
Smell: So light! Just a hint of steeped grains and a mild citrus character.
Taste: Again, so light! Slight taste of grain with a subtle toffee sweetness. Mild citrusy hops. Medium bitterness. Lightly bitter, watery finish.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s pretty embarrassing. Poor West Virginia.
