I totally disagree that this is perhaps the best American Pale Ale on this website. This is a good beer, for sure... but NOT a Great Beer! This is a medium bodied, full flavored ale with hints of smoky wood-chips, citrus and grass. A quick, but satisfying finish.

Good IPA for something mass produced. Copper pour with a nice head. Aroma is pure citrus with maybe a slight hint of bread. Taste is a hop party with malts crasing the bitter party at the end. Well done.

cloudy yellow with off white head, it has a bready aroma with the signature grapefruit accent. the flavor is wonderfully floral and malty, well balanced.

courtesy of Toni Flükiger - clear amber colour with a solid beige head; powerful nose, very hoppy, resiney aroma, cream and flowers; oily and with a good malt body; very dry and very bitter flowery hoppy finish - hops, hops and more hops

Fresh Hops! This is really a hop lovers beer. The hops are fresh but not overdone. Good malt backbone. I look forward to having this one again.

Had the 1997 brew. Pours a golden copperish with a nice white head. Aroma has a combination of grapefruit and pine. The hop flavor is clear but not overpowering. Flavors of citrus, pine, and some caramel malt comes through. Slight hint of bitterness at the finish but again is not overly pronounced.
