Nice resiny aroma. Brownish yellow and clear. No head. First taste is immediately mild but then morphs into a big, wew, IPA hoppy experience. This is certainly treading on IPA territory, bitter dull grapefruit rind and spruce tar palate. Barely any carbonation. Quite blunt and rude at times. Difficult lingering finish for a lager lover.

Jan 3, 2010 Full of kiwi and sticky tropical fruits. Pineapple is super apparent in both the aroma and flavour. Extremely bitterin the finish which makes the Tongue tighten up quite a lot. Quite excitingly fruity with a light maltiness backing it up. Pretty sickly all the way through.

Jan 3, 2010 Draft sample at the 13th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Amber in the glass with an off-white head that settle to a ring and left light lace. Nice pine aromas with a hint of a malt background. The flavor also had lots of pine with an orange backing. Medium body and medium bitterness. Nice surprise!

Jan 2, 2010 Tap at a local sports pub, good to see Widmer on tap in Florida. Pours a nice light brownish amber. Strikingly nice hop aroma, lots of citrus. Nice has a nice malt body with much more hop bitterness than I expected for a Pale Ale. Good stuff, for my local crappy sports bar.

Jan 1, 2010 On tap at Blarney Stone in SD. Clear copper orange with a two finger sea foam head, slowly fading and coating the glass. Lots of fresh floral and grapefruit hops in the nose with light biscuity malts. Flavor continues win not a lot of malt presence. Dry finish, bitterness a 3. Thin body with light to moderate carbonation. One of Widmer’s better offerings.

Dec 30, 2009 This is a great summer beer. A cross between a wit and a pale with some really nice spices mixed in. An enjoyable beer for the pro and a great introductory beer.

Dec 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Nice hoppy nose--grapefruit, pine. Pours copper with watery lacing. Taste is moderately bitter at first; finishes even more bitter. Medium bodied. Overall a pretty good APA, but there’s better out there.
