Pours an orange-amber color with a large foamy white head that leaves bubbly lacing. Aroma is orange zest and hops. Taste is largely orange zest, grape fruit, sweet malts, and a very bright finish. What a great APA. Tastes like a Two Hearted Ale converted to an APA. A well-rounded brew!

Smells of orange spice, slightly metallic. Some hops lingering in background. Palate is simple and satisfying. Lively carbonation, creamy texture. Nice dry/bitter finish. Slightly toasted grainy malts kick it off, a good dose of hops in middle, and short metalic finish. Some sweeter candy notes, slight lager/belgian taste.

Bottle. High creamy and lasting off-white head. Clear cobber body. Hoppy and grassy aroma with a good deal of dryness rather than the expected fruityness. Fruits do however appear in the flavor which of course also has a good deal of hops. Mild smooth and round though. Tasty for a beer without much alcohol.

Bottle. This one of those nice american pale ales available here in Sweden. Sure, this is not as complex (or tasty) as some beers, but it makes it very well with food for example - or when you want something lighter. Copper color with a nice white head. Inviting aroma of caramel, toffee, citrus and grapefruit. Flavour is caramely and a bit malty sweet first before the typical, american hops attacks gently with grapefruity and citrusy flavours. Mouthfeel is just right, carbonation is medium. Overall a very drinkable and tasty beer.

12 oz. Clear, shiny penny tint with a four-finger lasting head. Clean citrus hop and honey aroma. Flavor is big hops - citrus turning to more resin on the finish. Pretty nice malt backbone shows up more in the aftertaste, but helps carry the big West Coast hop style that has made a whole style (APA) that should in reality be called American IPA. Balance finally shows in the Fruit-Loop and resin aftertaste. Light-medium body is a bit too carbonated, but has a nice dry finish.

Tasted 2008-03-22. Pours clear, orange/red with small beige head. Sweet malty and hoppy aroma. A little mandarine. Flavour is sweet and bitter. Maybe a little salty. Full body. Nice!

Bottle. A clear amber beer with a small head. The aroma contains lots of aroma hops. The flavor is sweet hoppy with notes of caramel and a dry end. But the body is thin.

Pours amber with nice head. Strong hop aroma. Nice taste with a strong bitter finish. I like this APA.
