May 12, 2004 Updated: May 15, 2004On tap at O’Briens, San Diego. Absolutely delicious and drinkable beer. Marmalade colour, little head, but big lacing. Fresh, grassy aroma. Absolutely delicious and drinkable beer. Hop encrusted, but fruity and juicy beer, which is satisfying and refreshing. Light in the mouth, with a full, slightly soured finish which tingles slightly. Great stuff indeed.

Apr 27, 2004 This brew pours with an amber body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet yet bitter and hoppy with nice malt notes, a hint of grapefruit and pine. The flavor is slightly sweet but mostly bitter, piney and hoppy with a slight apricot note, some grapefruit and a nice malty background. Full bodied, smooth, slightly dry and warming.

May 28, 2004 On tap @ Hollingshead Deli. Nice rich copper colored brew with a tempting citrusy nose. Very interesting drinking this one as you get a very hoppy citrus bitterness at the front. Malty, biscuity notes in the middle finished with an herbal bite at the end. Very enjoyable brew!

Jun 24, 2004 This is a very nice APA. I had it on draft at Hollingshead Deli. Nice copper color with a citrus/pine nose. It starts out hoppy but finishes clean and refreshing. The hop profile of this APA seems different than others I’ve had.

May 8, 2004 Pours a nice amber color with a beautiful off-white head that laces the glass very well. Aroma is very mild, not quite what I expected from an American "Strong" Ale, but still pleasant. Nice malt/hop balance exists. Flavor is almost exactly like Sierra Nevada’s Harvest Ale. Nice hop bitterness meshed well with a sweet malty balance. Good body that holds its own in the mouth. A good beer.

May 28, 2004 Tap@Toronado, San Fransisco. When i had this beer i wasn’t sure i liked the style, but i’m seriously getting used to it, this was pretty tasty. Classic lychee, pine, grapefruit, really balanced and soft. Great beer from a pretty handy bunch of brewers.
