Dec 16, 2009 Sampled at Famous Liquors Holiday Tasting in Lombard, IL. Poured from the can a clear, orangy amber, with a modest, light tan foam to the head and fair lacing. The aroma was some bready malt, floral hints, and light notes of sweetness, pine, and citrus, as grapefruit and lemon. The flavor was similar, with light malt sweetness, a moderate hop bitterness, and pleasantly dry finish. A very nice Pale to go,(in cans) and worthy younger brother to Modus.

Dec 11, 2009 12oz can from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours clear copper with large soapy off-white head. Aroma is loaded with floral hops, citrus, pine, and caramel malts. Flavor is bitter hops, grapefruit, pine, burnt caramel, pale malts, and some other citrus flavors. Finishes bitter but has nice caramel and malt profile to help balance out hops. Medium mouthfeel. Nice to have a real hoppy APA for once. No Alpha King but this pretty solid.

Nov 12, 2009 Poured an orange/copper with a white foam head. Smells of pine, grapefruits, and oranges. Taste is small amounts of citrus, followed up by a large bitter and dry kick. Not really what I was expecting, but a nice brew none the less.
