Nov 2, 2009 On tap at PP Carlsbad a few weeks back. Color was a bit murky; dirty amber. Aroma of citrus, caramel and fruit. Flavor had a lot of citrus and caramel. Not too hoppy however for an IPA, but solid for an APA. Maybe in between. Bitter and earthy.

Oct 4, 2009 Pours a clear gold w/ slight orange tinge. White head. I had the beer after a Poormans so take that into account. Citrus, hint of caramel malt, slight grapefruit. I thought it was a pretty light and refreshing pale ale. Easy drinking and tasty.

Oct 1, 2009 On tap @ Carlsbad. Beer menu states 5.8%, wall states 6.1%. Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, fair retention. Citrus hops dominate with a clean caramel malt backbone. Flavor has the citrus coming out stronger with some light tropical fruit additions. The caramel is a little stronger as well. Semi-dry with bitterness @ a 4. Light to moderate prickly smooth (sounds weird, but true) carbonation. Very good APA that I’d place as an IPA.

Oct 1, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy, burnt orange with a sudsy, offwhite head and spider web lace. Smells deep and citrusy grassy with a nice bit of malt in the background. Tastes bitter grassy hoppy with building caramel malt flavors. Medium body, vibrant carbonation.
