Nov 22, 2004 This beer won the Pale Ale category at a tasting I held Sunday. Just to allay fears, not a single person mentioned anything about metallic flavors in this blind tasting. It’s a light copper body with a good head. There’s a bit of caramel and citrus rind hops in the aroma. A touch of grass. Very fresh tasting hops. A bit of lingering bitterness in the flavor. Very good.

Jul 12, 2004 I tried this 3 times on our vacation: First on tap at the Fort Collins Brew Fes - it was medium bodied and a little too sweet. 2nd - on tap at Ed’s Cantina in Estes Park - much better balanced, well hopped with a dry finish. 3rd time - out of the can while at our campsite at Sand Dunes - this is a nice hoppy pale ale..

Sep 5, 2006 Can courtesy of Brentfeesh: Poured a slightly hazy deep amber color ale with a nice foamy head with average retention. Aroma of crisp C-type hops with a nice sweet malt base. Taste is a very well balance mix between sweet malt and some bitter hops. Body is above average and carbonation is just perfect. Well made example of an APA.

May 11, 2007 Slob’s secret and blind surprise (poured in my absence while returning filtered beer to the municipal water supply), a pallette cleansing cap to the nice run. This one was a dandy, quite enjoyable. Appearance was golden-amber in color with a nice foamy head. Aroma was grapefruits, light pine, it begged a quaff or two. Flavor followed suit, an almost perfect interpretation of the APA/IPA style if I ever had one, very close to along the lines of Stone’s IPA (my far favorite even to-date), crystal malts underneath, strong grapefruits, piney resinous notes alongside it all, full hearty mouthfeel, even grainy, more body than Stone’s IPA, yet a touch less smooth. Probably the best "APA" I’ve had, although I’d put this down as an IPA and rate it among my top 5 for sure. Thanks, Bert!

Apr 4, 2008 Pours with a slightly cloudy amber-orange body topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly bitter with an underlying sweetness, a touch of hops and a little mustiness. Medium bodied and smooth.

Jul 18, 2007 Rated 7/18/07. Ohhhh yeahhhh, this is right up my alley. Beautiful cloudy orange-gold color. Small white head that leaves a decent lacing. Aroma is a nice caramel malt with excellent piney and citrus hops. Awesome flavor. Nice and malty with a great piney hop kick. Very well balanced. Just a smooth, creamy, malty, hoppy session beer that is an outstanding value. Without a doubt, this is the frontrunner to be my tailgate beer of choice for the 2007 UCF football season. I could drink these all day.....and I will!
