12oz bottle poured a clear copper/gold color with a small white head. Aroma has a strong citrus hop character with a slightly sweet carmel malt note. Taste has the perfect bitterness for a pale ale and a great hoppy finish that is good and dry. Overall a great American Pale that should definitely be on the top 25 list.

Light amber color, small white head. Very flowery aroma, and a very nectar type flavor. Great overall, and really fresh and crisp flavors.

Dark gold with a small off-white head. Hoppy nose with floral and citrus notes. Spicy-floral lightly hoppy flavor with a better hop bite in the aftertaste.

Pours light amber with a large-bubbled white head. Very floral and woody nose, with a hint of the same honey hop aroma found in the IPA Nectar. Citrus and pepper are in there, as well. The flavor is more floral than that of any other beer I’ve had. The middle is kind of bland, but still good; it almost tastes like a very well-made lager until the hops come back in the end, bitter and piney. I like it.

Medium sized white head, good retention and lace. Lightly hazy, pale gold color. Flowery hop nose, light citrus and spruce. Body is light/medium with good carbonation. Light juicey hop flavors, a touch tropical with notes of melon and pineapple all backed by some light bready malts. Finish is crisp and fruity. An easy quaff <!-- b --> Props to fordest for the trade!<!-- /b -->

Tap: orange body, fairly nice hoppy aroma. Grapefruit, pine and citrus. Fairly standard APA IMO. I liked the hop aroma more than the rest. Still not bad, but not a favorite.

Nicely average, just really well done for the style, nothing spectacular. I’d definitely drink it again, but it doesn’t really stand out for me.
