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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jun 19, 2009 Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Amber brew with thin, off white head and rich aroma of floral hops. Flavor is dominated by hops, with a strong, dry, hoppy finish. Some fruity overtones in the body. Almost seems to be more like an IPA than a pale ale, but whatever – if you like hopped up brews you’ll like this. Could use a bit more balance in the flave (just a little malt sweetness, please…) but overall a real wake up brew. (Whatever that is.)

Mar 14, 2009 Appearance: Pours a cloudy light orange with a pinstripe of white suds.
Aroma: Citrus (orange mostly), dried apricot and sugar.
Taste: Much like the aroma, I get a sugary malt/ citrus burst, followed by some moderate bitter hops.
Mouthfeel: Almost sticky.
Overall: A very malty Pale ale, with some body to it. Perhaps too sweet for a pale ale, a handful more of hops would have served it well. That probably would have taken it into IPA territories.
