Apr 16, 2006 Bottle. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. Citrus aroma. Citrus hop flavor with moderate bitterness. Enough malt to back it, but a bit on the hop side of balanced. Clean and easy to drink. Lingering citrus flavor. Slight grassiness.

Apr 8, 2006 12 oz. bottle. Characteristic APA nose and flavor. Nothing remarkable here. I brew better american pale ales all the time.

Mar 21, 2006 The aroma is dominated by sweetness with a sharp, grapefruit-like citrus scent and maybe a hint of florals. Overall, it is a real enticing-looking beer. The aroma is a prelude for the taste. It is a very citrus-like flavor, with a sweetness dominated by the malt in the brew. There’s a little bit of grain and maybe some caramel flavor in there as well, but overall the citrus flavor dominated. Even the finish was sweet, with only a slight bitter kick from the hops. I usually don’t like carbonation and the level was very mild. This might account for the almost sweet finish to the beer. It had a medium body and went down smoothly.

Jan 2, 2006 Bottle. Grapefruit sweet and light hop aroma. Golden orange body with a nice froth head. Very citrusy, light bodied, mildly sweet, a very mild pale ale (not particularly bitter, my girlfriend, who hates most pale ales, even liked it). Not too full by my preferences for APA, but this would be a wonderful summer beer.

Oct 7, 2005 Bottle: Translucent golden, huge white frothy head, lattice like lacing, light carbonation. Nose of mash, as in mash tun, slight tea or tobacco. Grainy malt flavor, mash tun like but not as sharp as the nose. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Sweet finish. Would like to see it more hopped up, but its not bad.

Aug 21, 2005 Bottle. Golden amber color with fading head. Balanced hop aroma, not too aggressive, with lingering sweet caramel malts coming through. Flavor mimics this: very nice balance of hop bitterness and flavor with medium amber malt sweetness. Crisp overall, but with a slight tacky/tangy aftertaste. Very enjoyable.
