12 oz bottle. Pours to a hazy, deep copper color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and a good carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent with fragrant aromas of citrus hops, and pale malt sweetness. The palate is firm, with good pale malt flavors, with flavors of candied citron, and touchs of estery fruit. This beer finishes with more good pale malt up front, then ends with a zesty, citrus hop bite that lingers. Very well done APA, which strikes a good balance of malt and hop character. A nice enjoyable pint of beer, and a very food friendly beer as well.

Jul 28, 2008 Pours a bright clear copper colour with a medium sized white head. Well carbonated, aromatic- with floral, honey and fresh hop character. Pleasent, astringent mouthfeel, citrusy and overall well balanced brew.

does not count  Jul 27, 2008 This brew was a really nice surpirse im my collection. What a delicious tasting beverage during the heat of summer!! Appearance is a nice amber look with a wonderful aroma and head. Bitterness in the front with maltiness to follow. The finish is delicious with only a touch of bitterness in the end. A great warm weather beer. Prosit!!

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a nice ruby/amber color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is a lot of citrus hops with a bit of bread and yeast.
Flavor is nice. A good bitter bite on the front, but not to heavy, and the malt seems strong enough to deal. Just a touch metallic and that "penny in your mouth" flavor lingers a bit to long.
Decent Pale ale though. Would drink again.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottled, and a gusher. Poured hazy medium orange with a huge cap of beige head that settled down to 1/2". The aroma picked up sweet, dusty lighter fruits, caramel, and a bit of detergent.. something was wrong. The flavor confirmed my fears.. some lighter fruit skin sourness joined wet grains and some floral notes.. the sourness was tacky and stuck around on the finish with an unpleasant bitterness for far too long. Medium-bodied with very high carbonation and sourness that shouldn’t have been there.. not good at all.
