Apr 7, 2009 bottle. Pours ruby with a creamy, brown-tinted head. Aroma is bright pine and citrus. Flavor starts with toffee and red fruit, then transitions to cherry and grapefruit . . . so complex for a pale ale! Finishes malty and bitter, everything in balance. Overall, this is a very solid, flavorful brew, definitely the best pale ale I’ve tried.

Apr 6, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a copper color with a big beige head that slowly dissipated. The aroma is biter hops, rye bread, citrus and pine. The taste is hops forward with a nice bitering that is never harsh. The main body is caramel and toffee. The mouthfeel is light, smooth and malty. The finish is short with some lingering caramel. Overall: A very good APA.

Apr 5, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy amber orange with a medium white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops, pine, and spices. Taste is very similar to an IPA, with a bit of sweetness, caramel, and pepper. Overall a pretty decent drink.
