Aurelius (2507), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jun 30, 2008 Nice, nice APA aroma - balanced, not over-the-top. Caramel, toast, medium hoppy, medium sweet. Bitter, sweetish. One of the best brewpub examples of the style that has largely been rode hard and put up wet. Candied at times. Prominent orange, toast in the finish.
santoslhalper (192), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 24, 2008 Slightly cloudy copper with a thin white head. Citric, piny, and grapefruit aroma with caramel and fruity malt notes. Some pineapple. Mighty bitter taste with pine and citric notes. Overly hoppy with very little balance. Naka (426), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 20, 2008 Courtesy of Juart from a growler. Pours a clear amber color with a thick eggshell head and excellent lacing. The nose is a sweet cotton candy with some floral and pine notes, but not a lot of real bitterness. The flavor has a lot of caramel malt and toffee. The hop flavor is piny and spicy. A medium body with some oily texture that leaves a nice bitterness on the tongue. Linus_Stick (1560), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 9, 2008 After taking in the weak aroma of stale hops and seeing the flat bubble-less orange pour, I thought I was going to be let down. Well as far as IPAs go, I was, but for this brewer and compared to the aroma it was great. Taste was light malt in the front with very little carbonation. The aftertaste, though, is when you are hit by hops so big you would think you were drinking an IIPA. Very nice finish. Would like to try this again. zebracakes (1003), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 3, 2007 On tap at the Pour House. I agree with Nate. This is a really good find as far as IPAs go. Hazy amber caramel, off white head. Aroma is tangerine/floral. Flavor is tangerine/floral; bitter and crisp, yet not too peaty.
