May 15, 2009 12 oz.bottle: Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head that diminishes rather quickly. Hoppy aroma has hints of citrus and floral. Flavor is malty with hints of grapefruit and caramel. Texture is creamy with a bitter finish. Well balance and very drinkable. A good brew for any pale ale lovers out there.

May 12, 2009 12 oz. bottle via trade with beastiefan2k - Pours a hazy amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is toasted malt and floral hops. Flavor is much of the same. Nice balance. A nice beer with a cool bottle label. Thanks Eugene.

Feb 19, 2009 Bottle sampled at the Warbird tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 2.19.09. Pours clear amber with a medium beige head. Balanced aroma of malt and Amarillo hops. Not getting as much Cascade. Malty flavor up front, giving way to hops and a thin finish.

Feb 13, 2009 Bottle… Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. The aroma offers notes of toffee, biscuit and nuts. Medium-bodied with stinging carbonation. Good balance – leans only slightly on the bitter side. Crisp, moderately bitter finish. Kudos to Headbanger for shipping the bottle my way!

Feb 9, 2009 Courtesy hopscoch. Pours a golden copper amber, with a medium off white head. Smells ofsome bready yeast, light citrus hops, and a good dose of caramel malt. Standard fo this style seemingly. The flavor is fairly simple but not bad as far as tast goes. mild hop presence, not overly bitter but only somewhat. Some grapefruit citrus is evident inth finish. Not bad.

Jan 21, 2009 A nice looking brew that pours a medium-dark copper with an ample, light tan head. Nose is surprisingly malty for an APA, and has a nice sweetness to it. Flavor is a nice balance of a moderate hoppiness, which fades into a lightly bitter finish, and the malty, caramel flavors from the nose. While not overly complex, this is a pretty good beer and very drinkable and, as such, it might make for a good "starter" APA for those crossing over from less hoppy brews.
