Dec 31, 2008 Bottle. Floral aroma, frothy white head that lingers and laces. Decent amount of bitterness in the beer, full of that wonderful cascade flavor. Medium-bodied, malts are in the background and add just a bit of sweetness. Pretty decent stuff from the good folks in Tucson.

Nov 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. Maybe I am grumpy tonight, but my ratings are just not lining up with the averages. I had this amber looking beer and was not impressed with the aroma, which lacked in depth. Maybe some light maltiness and some underlining citrus. The flavor was very one dimensional, pretty much tasted like an amber ale versus a pale ale. There should have been a more hoppy presence in this beer. The mouthfeel was on the light side too. I won’t purchase again.

Nov 2, 2008 Pours a cloudy golden yellow with an absolutely massive frothy head! The nose was complex and citrusy. Taste was terribly complex, with grapefruit leading the citrus flavors, with sweetness in the front and a nice bitter hoppy finish. The palate was smooth and pleasant.
I LOVED this beer! It was on par with Alpha King, and I’ll gladly go back for more and more.
