| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Pours a light gold color, with a medium white head. Smells of crisp hop bitterness with a citrus backbone, hints of malt in there too. Pretty crisp and refreshing on the palate, lots of grapefruit citrus and piney hops mixed together in the flavor. Pretty easy drinking little pale ale. hopscotch (5475), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Bottle… Clear amber ale with an orange glow and a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. The bouquet is a blend of Mandarin orange, resin, pine sap and orange blossom honey. Medium-bodied with a raspy mouthfeel and lazy carbonation. The flavor provides gentle caramel sweetness to tone down heavy, fruity, hop bitterness. Lengthy, bitter, dry finish. Nothing wrong with this APA.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Amber with a mild haze and a large off-white rocky top that laves some spotty lacing as it departures. Aroma of grapefruit, floral hops, mild sweet malt. Not overly hoppy or sweet. Taste of grapefruit, mild floral hops with very mild malt to balance it out. Medium bitter finish that ends up somewhat balanced. Kind of one dimensional. deyholla (687), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a reddish hue and a quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma was full of pine notes with an undertone of citrus. Flavor continued with the pine notes and they were a bit aggressive at times. j12601 (1258), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 25, 2009 Bottle from a trade, and I honestly can’t remember who (my guess is it was StFun) exactly as I’d sort of forgotten that I had the bottle. Pours a somewhat cloudy orange with what appears to be small bits of dust in suspension. Medium to large honeyed beige head. Big citrus hops, some hay, and a touch of cardboard and caramel. Medium bodied with a little sweet malt. Finishes up with a nice grapefruit bitterness. drowland (1401), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Had at a random bar near the hotel at my brother’s wedding in Indianapolis. Not bad, but didn’t blow me away. gws57 (1137), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 10, 2009 Found this one bottled at a liquor store in St. John, Indiana, as part of a mix 12 pack of various beers from Indiana brewers. Clear, medium reddish brown pour with a thin white head, a mild nose of citrusy hops, nicely balanced flavor with a malty backbone, this is why I love the APA style. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 5, 2009 Pours copper with a white head. Smells of wildflowers with some citrussy elements and a hint of caramel. Tastes of citrus, spicy, some perfumy hints, earthy on the finish. Solid beer.
