| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Pours from 12 oz bottle a nice medium dark coppery amber hue, forming medium to thin head of foam.. Aroma appearent of citrus, pineapple tones along with a slight tropical flower smell. Flavour was thin, yet tasty, pinapple resins, mango, caramel malts and a tinge of hops balance this beer out. Very quenching beer, overall decent, and a great value in terms of price and flavour. A surprise.......... Butters (1651), Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2009 On draft at woody’s. Pours a nice clear deep amber with good light tan head. Magnificent pineapple citrus hop aroma. Too bad the flavor can’t hold up. It’s okay for a pale, with a decent malt to balance, but has a slightly metallic penny quality, and a lemon pledge. But not bad, just a few weird flavors on the finish detracts from the overall flavor. Thin and soft on the palate. I’d drink it again 502Flavors (622), Louisville, Kentucky, USA

Great hop presence o the aroma and flavor - west coast floral and citrus hops. however, about 2/3 of the way through this beer, it started to taste a bit watery and plain.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Updated: Dec 19, 2009This was purchased at Whole Foods in Richmond. The APA was good but not special. The head was smallish and disappeared. The color was an attractive slightly clear amber. The finish was smooth and a hint of bitterness. The APA had a medium body with some sweetness. This is a drinkable APA but not remarkable. I purchased a 6 pack at Total Wine and adjusted my rating. It is milder than I remmeber.
