Pours a deep, sappy amber with a nice head of whitel. Smell reminiscent of a pure pine forest resplendent with flowers of forest green hops. Flavor matches aroma and, according to a brewmaster, is 6 IBU"s short of an IPA. Thick, full, and coating mouthfeel. This is a darn good beer; lovers of hops should try it.

May 16, 2008 Pours deep amber, and fairly dark for an APA. Creamy, off-white head with loads of retention. Sweet smells of malt are apparent, but it is the hop bouquet that is most assertive. The flavor is equally hop forward; herbal but rounded out with adequate maltiness. Medium body with a long hoppy finish.

Pours a rich amber to reddish color with a nice beige head. Smell is big and fruity, and hoppy with lots of grapefruit. Taste is fruity, smooth caramel, and citrusy, again reminiscent of grapefruit. Milder bitterness and smoother than the nose might indicate, but still solidly bittered for great balance. Very refreshing and incredibly drinkable. This is a clean, sessionable, fantastic pale ale in a can that I’d be glad to have again.
