Draught@HBF2009. Clear amber color, good white cloudy head. Very fresh leafy, grass aroma. Odd watermelon notes with juicy hoppyness, crisp carbonation. Yeasty twist. Fresh and good.

(Bottle) Pours a light cloudy golden color with a large frothy white head. Citrus aroma. Hops and malt flavor. Descent APA. Thanks Kevin42!

12oz bottle acquired in trade with TannerTavernboys (thanks!). Bottle labeled ’brewed with love on Sep 13 2006’. Poured a darker amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, citrus, and light caramel. Tastes of caramel, oranges, and light grapefruit.

Beautiful clearish deep golden/light amber. Superb white foamy cover, lasting and lacing. Fresh, wholesome pine, spruce and flowery hops in the aroma. More pale malt than crystal which makes it very drinkable despite the body being medium in size. Not heavily bitter, but more than an average APA, though it grows a fruitiness in mouth that complements it nicely. I don’t smell any citrus, but there’s a fair grapefruit nose in mouth, almost juicy and the smooth, albeit active carbonation does not alterate the feeling.

Draft… Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is a fusion of toffee, grapefruit and piney, peppery hop. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. The flavor is all about bitter, juicy hops and caramel malt. Bittersweet, lupulin/juicy hop finish.
