Oct 11, 2007 Updated: Oct 15, 2007I think this is that beer they made in "BEERFEST". It’s beautiful! Just Beautiful!
Pours a surprisingly cloudy/dark orangy amber. Nose is of evergreen, bubble gum, and cookie dough. The first sip shocks the palate. So many hops for 12 meager ounces. It starts bitter, it stays bitter. After-taste is bitter. I don’t think I’ve EVER had a brew with so many hops. Very nice. But expensive. On sale for $7.99 a six pack? Too much! But it’s so good. But it’s overpriced. But it’s so good. But it costs alot. But it’s so, so good. But, man, $7.99 for a sixer? But it’s so good. I wish it weren’t so expensive so I could drink gallons of it every night. Because it’s so good. I want to brush my teeth with it. Because it’s so good!!!I want to put my dick in it. Because it’s so good. I want IT to put it’s dick in me! ’Cause it’s so good. But it’s pricey. But it’s sooooo good.
I like it!!!! I love it!!! I want to marry it!!!! You know, because it’s sooooooo good!

Apr 19, 2006 Updated: Apr 3, 2007Pours a tawny amber color w/ a full, semi creamy froth. Thick and sticky residual lacing. Aroma has a prominant hop profile. Medium full nectar w/ soft and creamy residual effers. Another WOW, this is a can ? I would have never known. This pale is on the hoppy side and delivers a crispness even w/ the thick malts. Big citrus rind, leather, sea salt, and slight biscuits delivered by massive waves of dense malt. The finish is bittered extensively yet leaving my palate wet. This and Old Chub are perfect high quality canned brews that should be included in your "no glass allowed" activities. Overall; a very rich and delicious brew worthy of it’s rating. Highly recommended!

Jun 27, 2006 This is a beautiful balance of malt and hops. Its on the heavy side for an APA, but if you’re up for it- you will not be disappointed. It’s absolutely wonderful. When uneducated beer drinkers want to know how to differentiate malt and hop flavors- I tell them Dale’s answers all. As a homebrewer, I strive to find such a flavorful balance. My favorite beer.

does not count  Nov 13, 2006 Great pale ale; like a Ballantine on steroids. Watch it though, the killer 6.5% sneaks up on you around beer 4 or 5 and makes you start mumbling to yourself and laughing. Don’t play poker while drinking this beer.

Jul 6, 2007 This is the best beer I have ever had in a can. The head is very foamy and is of a darker orange and brown, that kind of creeps out of the top of the can. The amount of hops is just right, I think I would put this in more an IPA category as compared to a regular pale ale. The taste is amazing with a heavy dose of fruity hops. The dry hopping is very noticeable.
