Oct 28, 2009 Poured a medium golden orange. Darker than a normal pale ale.
Nose is huge on pine and citrus hops. Loads of ’em.
Taste is packed with hops, grapefruit, orange zest, tangerine, pine resin, toffee, nice clean bitterness. I dont see how this beer is classified as a regular pale ale, but its great regardless of style.

Oct 27, 2009 Definitely on my top pale ales list. Great aggressive hop bite, amazing drinkability. However, this is definitely a hop heads pale ale. Stays fresh for long in the can.

does not count  Oct 23, 2009 Pint at New World Ybor. Sticks around hoppy and sour. Might taste a bit stronger than it is which is not a complaint considering it also comes in cans. Quite refreshing outdoors on a hot September evening in Tampa - it steeped nicely!

does not count Oct 22, 2009 Best beer in a can I have had so far. This is an inexpensive brew. A full bodied pale ale that you can take with you. Note- I don’t use words like citrus, grapefruit, pesto, or any other similar words to describe beer. If my beer tastes like any of those, I’m dumping it!

Oct 20, 2009 Pint @ Rattle n Hum shortly after my 1,000th rating. Tastes of ripe and oily hops. Florals and citrus notes.. Somewhat spicy, but nicely balanced. Maintains a high level of drinkablity while remaining relatively complex.. Very nice!

Oct 20, 2009 12 oz. can. Aroma of sweet floral hops, raspberry. Pours the perfect gold with small white head. Tastes of great hops but not overwhelming, refreshing, good pale ale. It’s great to see a beer like this in a can, a better option than your normal crappy beer to take camping, to the game, etc... A part of me actually likes this beer better out of the can, but maybe that’s just psychological.

Oct 20, 2009 Can at Bishops Arms, Vasagatan.
Really a very good beer! The color was a bit cloudy orange. Quite large foam that left residue on the glass. Nice aroma with a lot of grapefruit.
Beautiful palate with plenty of fruit and a lot of sweetness. Grape, a bit buttery feel and a pleasant taste with a pleasant bitterness. Very refreshing and a great beer to drink.
