Draft at BP- Wow. This one is so good, I wish I could have taken it home. Deliciously hoppy, and slightly out of balance, this amber colored beer was great from first sniff to last drop. Well done.

Holy crap. I was hoping Piece would have Wingnut when we went there. I’m glad they didn’t. Full Frontal is one of the best beers I have ever had...ever. Grapefruit and a bit of pineapple just jump out of the glass. Ridiculous balance of hops and malt cuts the bitterness of the hops and just lets the flavor dominate. I can’t say enough good things about this beer. I love it....

On tap at Piece. This beer combines all my favourite elements of American beers. Fruity, sweet with flavours of peaches and apricots, it gives way to a very powerful citrus and resin kick. This is an excellent APA. If only Piece would open an outpost in the East Midlands of England...

On tap @ the brewpub. Yum. Hazy pale golden coloured with a medium sized head. Great balance with notes of malt, hops , pines, spices and fruits. Nice and dry finish.

Share a growler of this tonight. Pours hazy orange with nice thick white head. Aroma is citrusy and fruity with hops and caramel malts. Flavor is crisp and refreshing with big citrus flavor with hops and light fruits. Nice malt balance. Medium mouthfeel. Really good fresh pale ale.

On tap and enjoyed a couple pints with JSquire and MrFacto: Slight hazy light amber with a fading head but left very good in it’s wake. The aroma has notes of fresh citric and herbal hops, biscuity malt, sage and mint, and dusty yeast esters.

The taste starts with a hoppy and fruity overtone, fresh resiny hops abound. Lovely soft and chewy pale malt gets ya in the middle. The finish has a light pepper and clove tone. The mouth feel is lively, crisp and refreshing. A very enjoyable beer indeed and I can see why it won a medal at the GABF. I dig it and you need to get ya some.

#1032, on tap at the brewery. Hazy copper with no real head but a thin rim of white foam. Nose is rather hoppy with lots of pine and sap. Taste is very tangy citrusy with an awesome amount of citrus orange peal and just a bit of alcohol that is smothered in evergreen. Very good, very good for style.
BTW, I was told by the waiter that this was an IPA not an APA. Either way its a overhopped APA or a spot on IPA. Its just awesome.
