Oct 11, 2009 Draft @ Hamiltons. Pours a slightly cloudy amber-orange hue with a thin head but big sticky lacing. Nose is orange-lime citrus, light pine, tea, and bready malts. Flavor is a tight blend of bready malts and citrus hops with a decent dose of tea leaves, also has tones of grass/chalk, pine, grapefruit, finishes citrus sweet. Medium body, chewy texture, medium carbonation. Big flavorful APA, nice hop/malt balance, easy drinking, very fresh tasting.

Oct 1, 2009 On tap @ Carlsbad. Made with Chinook and Simcoe. Clear copper orange with one finger creamy beige head, good retention.Has some fruity spicy hops up front that I don’t think mixed well. Caramel malt behind. Flavor is the same with a semi-dry earthy bitter finish peaking at a 5. Medium body with light prickly carbonation. OK as well.

Sep 1, 2009 Pretty sure this one was at the Toronado too. In tat category of "Goddamn, this is a good APA!" Everything you want from the style. Well done blend of lightly sweet malts, and a smooth blast of semi-citrusy hops. Clean and crisp. Yum!

Dec 30, 2008 Tap. Deep hazy amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite soft and fresh. Sweet bready malts and a soft light toastiness behind a soft fruitiness. A bit of caramel and a faint citrusy/piny bitterness. Pretty chewy and sweet with a soft maltiness but nice fresh hoppy flavour. Very fruity/grapefruity with a light pineapple flavour as it starts to warm up. Nice balance of hops and soft fruity maltiness. It’s pretty solid.
