Thank you Daniel TheCheeseMan! Red-golden with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma is wonderfully hoppy with loads of spruce, fruit, citrus and caramel. The flavour has citrus, pomelo, oranges, spicy mango, papaya, caramel and a nice, slightly dry, bitterness in the finish. This is a really, really nice beer!

Out of a bottle, poured a nice amber color. Smelled sweet and hoppy. Taste a nice bitterness. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Good pale ale. *****UPDATE****** Stfun just hooked me up with a "fresh" bottle. Big head on this one, followed by a good lacing. Aroma of sweet malts and hops. Redish-brown in color. Taste is really sweet up front, but a nice bitterness in the aftertaste. Good texture and easy to drink, I can see why people would like/love this but I guess APA are not my cup of tea. Thanks josh for sending this one again!

pours a beautiful deep blood orange with a thick frothy head that lasts. aroma is sweet grapefruit with a flavor that has hints of apple and a nose breath of alcohol. Palate felt slightly watered down which I wasn’t expecting. Over all, a little disappointed since i’d been assured it would be great by people I trust - I’m guessing this might have been a bad bottle - i’m in CA and it’s hard to find.

A very clean hoppy fragrance with a great 1/2 inch head. beautiful amber color with slight clinging lacing and a rich, bright flavor.

aroma was very cleanly citrus hops. very fresh hop aroma that smelled like they were just pulled from my freezer at home. beer poured amber with 2 fingers of head, that remained as a film throughout the duration of drinking it. Flavor like the aroma is full of citrus hops, grapefruit most prominently. The only problem was that I found it to be a little to sharp and course for my taste, but wasn’t over the top. plate was medium bodied with the perfect amount of carbonation for a pale ale. very good pale ale

Pours orange, with a thick head. Smells of hops just cascade all over the place. This beer doesn’t mess around. Strong STRONG flavor, citrus and bursting with hops. Nice clean and bitter aftertaste. Officially is just 6% alcohol, but it kicks a lot harder than that! I’m really liking this one now.
