(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours clear, deep golden with a white, lacing head. Very fresh and fruity hop aroma. Fairly light in body with a weak malt base, but the aroma hops are incredibly fresh and fruity with accents of peaches and exotic fruits. The finish is dry but not really bitter. 290307

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of yogurt, straw, grapefruit and a bit sugary. Taste is of oranges and caramel. One of the best APAs I’ve had to date.

My bottle of this very drinkable APA reads "Pale Nectar." Deep gold with a lacingly bubbly head, it has a delicate aroma of caramel malts balanced with floral and orange hops. Balance is the key to the tase as well, neither element outweighing another. It finishes on a mildly bitter, citric note. A very well crafted ale.

Bottle: Gold, nice head and great lacing. Nose of full on citrusy hops, very San Diegan. Grassy, grapefruity. Nice maltiness and intense hoppy notes. The flavor is balanced, dry-hopped, so not too bitter. Finishes clean, light, drinkable.

Pours hazy deep dark straw with off-white head. Nose is juicy wet hops, tropical fruit. Tastes piney hoppy, with a solid malt bill, and some grapferuit, tangerine, and piney notes.
