Poured a reddish copper with amber hues. Well carbonated. One finger, creamy, yellowish. The aroma was hoppy, citrusy, grassy. The flavor was waxy, well carbonated, crisp grassy, hoppy, crisp, and English on the malt end. Palate was crisp and waxy and the finish grassy.

I like APAs and have made more than a few so it is hard for anything to stand out from the crowd. This one stands out from the crowd. Nice citrus hops with some resin thrown in, amber color, decent malts but not awe inspiring. Nonetheless, a great APA and I’d be a very happy camper if this was available on tap around here.

Bottled, consumed on 12/13/07. Slightly hazy medium gold with nice off-white head. Expected grapefruit hop aroma. Tart and hoppy with some bready malt lurking in there. Bold bitterness like orange rinds mix with black pepper for lingering finish. Not well-balanced: bitter is by far the most prevalent flavor.

Poured a copper-amber light body with a medium-sized white head. Nose of rich hops and semi-sweet malts. Sticky yet light. Freshing with good lacing left in glass. Great summer session beer.

This was a nice version of an american pale ale. It had that definite hop resin flavor and decent bitterness. The body was pretty round, malty enough, and balanced decently. Nice color, nice performance (good head, good retention, good lacing).

Sweet citrusy hoppy aroma. Flavor is hoppy and bitter with even more bitter aftertaste. Very herbal and spicy with definite grapefruit notes.

Bottled (5,6% ABV). Clear amber with a medium sized and persistent creamy beige head, leaving many laces on the glass. The aroma is hoppy with fruity and flowery notes (mainly citric fruiits). Theere is also agood hopping in the flavour that is fruity and lightly spicy with some caramel notes. Quite balanced, good malt. Medium body, well carbonated, long finish with high bitterness taht lingers on your tongue. Perhaps a light metallic feeling. Overall a well made pale ale.
