12 oz. bottle on 4/24/2008. Clear deep gold pour with a white head that proves quite durable, and leaves a good lace. Aroma has some grain, citrus, and floral honey. Medium body and carbonation, mildly resinous. Bitterness starts quickly, over a light malty base, progressing into a distinct and lengthy grapefruity finish. A little unbalanced, and overly hoppy for an APA. If the ABV was a little higher, it would certainly be an IPA.

Aug 10, 2008 Its been awhile, but this used to be a pretty decent pale ale. Lightly hopped nose, with some cookie dough maltiness and some citrusy hops bittering out the finish. Simple, balanced and drinkable.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear orange. Aroma almost all hop, very little else. Taste is similar, with a very mild malt backing. Finish is lightly bitter. Tried this with some other pale ales, and this held up very well. Mouth was middle of the road, but still nice.

Jul 1, 2008 12oz bottle. pours clear amber with a large white head. Aroma is primarily citric hops, balanced with some earthy malt. Flavor exhibits sweet malt at first, with citrus from the hops only showing up for the finish. Simple and very drinkable.

Jun 24, 2008 12oz. Poured a semi-hazy orange with a nice white head. Some citrus in the nose alongside some nondescript woodsy notes. My favorite part of this beer was the body, it started off malty then switched into citrus and hop gear with a fairly dry finish for the style. A solid effort.

Jun 12, 2008 This American Pale Ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Large sized white foamy head, with good lacing and nice retention. The aroma is caramel malts and floral hops. A medium to lighter bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are piney and citrusy. Lively carbonation, with lots of small tiny bubbles. A decent APA. Mouthfeel is full. The finish is crisp and clean. The aftertaste is slightly bitter.
