Oct 27, 2009 Pours clear, golden amber with an average white head. Aromas of malt with undertones of hops and a touch of citrus. Solid hop bitterness on the initial taste, which continues throughout. I found the malts were masked by the strong hops on the first few sips but came through more and more as time wore on. Finishes with a hop aftertaste but is very clean overall. An above average beer, although I did find the inital hop flavouring a little strong for my liking.

Oct 14, 2009 Lightly hopped fruity aroma. Dark golden with thin white head that recedes to cover with marginal lace. Sweet malt up front with pleasing bitterness in the back end. Easy to drink with decent carbonation but not overwhelming.

Aug 17, 2009 12oz bottle from Hannaford. Pours a amber yellow body with over an inch of off-white head. Smells grapefruity, citrussy, piney, and slightly grassy. Citrussy, slightly pithy and piney, with just enough bready malt to keep the hops in check. Creamy rich mouthfeel with ample carbonation. Not the most drinkable, more of a sipper. Overall, a really solid APA and probably the best beer I’ve had from the brewery.

Aug 10, 2009 Bottled. Hazy Amber/orange color with beige to white thinning head. Lacks big aroma, but the aroma that exists consists of fruity hops. Long finish, average carbonation, thin feel, medium body. Smooth and easy.

Jul 5, 2009 Poured from 12 oz bottle a typicle amber hue, decent off white foamy head. Aroma faint, citrus and pine and a touch of caramel. Flavour is of grapefruit, with a touch of sweet caramel and a bitter finish. Overall tasty APA, crisp and sessionable.

May 26, 2009 From a bottle poured amber with a lot of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a little bit of a metalic finish, maybe an old bottle.

May 9, 2009 Crystal clear, dark gold with an impressive frothy head. The lace slides down the glass, but is present
Mild malt aroma with a touch of hop flower. Appealing and subtle.
Nice hop bite on the initial sip. Hop bitterness stays throughout including the aftertaste, like an IPA. A very dry beer with little malt flavor
This beer is going very nicely with my plate of German Hot Dogs with mustard. I like its clean taste and as a hop head, I welcome the bitterness. Very drinkable, but not very complex.
