Bottle from MrChopin. Pours a light orange with a white head. Aroma of hops and malty bread. Taste is also a nice hop malt balance. Some other different flavors in there as well that are hard to place, maybe fruit. Taste is pretty subdued hop-wise, and finish is not too bitter. Overall, a fair APA.

Bottle courtesy of MrChopin. Pours light copper with a thin white head. Smells of tea, pepper, earth. Tastes of dry malt, light citrus. Mouthfeel is dry with a pilsner malt finish.

draft at brewpub- not bad, but not a favorite in this category- good initial hop flavor, but a bit thin in terms of moutfhfeel followed by some co2 nastyness- would try again, but not blown away.

Light copper/dark gold color sporting a 1/2’ bright, white head and crazy thick lacing. Fruity hop aroma with a splash of pine. The aroma is calm and faint, you have to go diving to pick up the scent. Mildly bitter, on the lighter side for the style with an empty finish. Nutty and fruity with orange and grapefruit flavors coupled by some pine. The taste is there, but again it’s too faint. Not impressed, give me the Hop Back Amber please.

Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a good two fingers worth of head that turned to a thick lace across the glass. The body of the brew was a clear copper to gold in color Aromas of nice fresh hops hit my nose first then a light sweet bready, caramel note soon followed. My taste buds appreciated the well balanced flavors of this brew not to bitter not to sweet. A nice rounded Pale light in the mouth and crisp on the tongue Very drinkable a nice sessionable brew was a great lunch beer with my sandwich. I would drink this one again
