JackfromJax (17), Florida, USA Sep 29, 2009 Pours medium gold to medium dark with a decent white head that discipates but lingers around the glass. Clarity is somewhat hazy from the apparent dry hopping. Initial aroma is more malty than expected with a earthy hop bitterness and clean hop aroma. Maybe Chinook for bittering. Taste is surprisingly malty with an assertive bitterness that finishes with a pleasant dry hopped piney resiny aftertaste. Medium bodied with a medium dry finish. A really good APA. WLG423 (43), Connecticut, USA Sep 28, 2009 Initial aroma is slightly bitter with an earthy aroma. A nice rich flavor with hints of citrus and molasses. Finish is nice and hoppy but not overpowering. A unique and tasty brew. popery (132), San Francisco, California, USA Sep 26, 2009 A hoppy, delicious Pale Ale. This beer pours a medium golden color with a creamy white head. The aroma is pleasantly sweet and hoppy. The hops are peachy and floral. There’s some malt sweetness, as well. The flavor is hoppy without being overly bitter. They’ve hit a really nice balance with this beer, though it’s definitely hoppy for a pale. There’s a very nice sweet caramel malt backbone. It’s a satisfying and drinkable beer. I’m trying it against Stone’s and definitely prefer this beer. Excellent stuff. I like the cans. Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 22, 2009 Darker than expected, hoppy and a little floral smell, dry hoppy taste, Finishes witha sticky, almost sweet feeling on the back of my tongue. Leighton (234), New York, New York, USA Sep 21, 2009 Had a pint on tap at Mudville 9. This is a great APA right here. Pours a nice yellow-amber with a medium white head. Aroma of bitter hops a sweet malts. Flavor has a complex bitterness which is slightly offsett by the European malts. Highly drinkable and delicious. guyinchicago (516), marengo, Illinois, USA Sep 20, 2009 Can picked up at badger spirits in beloit WI.pored golden to amber with frothy head of off white aromas of hops,malts and citrus taste of the same reminds me a little of a slightly tamed down version of alpha king oskar blues rocks bigbish (137), Colorado, USA Sep 19, 2009 A great pale ale. Love the cans, great for camping. Very good balance between the hops and malts. stoliver54 (4), Colorado, USA does not count Sep 16, 2009 This is probably my favorite beer in a can. Great beer to tailgate with, just keep the stash for yourself and close friends as it is a lot more expensive than that piss water everyone else is drinking.
