Oct 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a lasting light brown head that laced nicely. Aroma is full of hops giving both a pine forest note as well as citrus rinds. Flavor begins with citrus bang and finishes with a light piney note. Goes down amazingly smooth. My favorite APA.

Sep 30, 2009 Great, complex blend of hops - pine, citrus, and earthiness. This is the best pale ale I’ve ever had. So smooth, but flavorful and full-bodied. I could - and would - drink this all day if I could get my hands on it more often.

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a clear golden beer, The aroma and the flavor is nice and hoppy. This also leaves a bitter palate. Overall this beer is balanced and simple and testes fantastic.

Sep 27, 2009 Tasting at GABF . Orange/amber with little orange/white head. Clear. Very hoppy aroma of citrus. Flavor is sweet malt backed by very bitter finish with citrus and grass hop. Dry and average length finish with medium body. Oily feel goes dry at end.

Sep 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Clear amber pour with a big beige head. Lots of malt in the nose, a bit cerealy. Good amount of hops in there too. Caramel malt up front before a piney hop explosion that lasts until the finish and beyond. Very good APA.

Sep 26, 2009 Draught at Hopleaf, Chicago. Hazy amber pour with small head. Good hoppy, malty aroma. Hoppy, malty, quite bitter, no sweetness at all, dry tasting. Pretty good APA.

Sep 26, 2009 Pours an amber-brown with a small ivory head. Aroma is nicely hoppy with a good floral bouquet. Malts come through too in the aroma. Yes, this flavor is delicious! Much citrusy, crisp hops throughout. Citric acid and floral flavors as well, with a solid malt backdrop. Creamy mouthfeel, crisp finish sets you up for the next sip. I never thought it would be possible to give a pale ale this high a rating, but this is easily the best APA I’ve ever had. Overall, world class. Thanks, 3 Floyds.
