Tap at Alpine. Aroma: light citrus, floral hops, crackers and light malts. Appearance: clear light yellow pour, creamy nitro head with excellent retention and thick lacing. Taste: fresh floral hops, bright citrus, light malts, medium bitterness. Low sweetness, clean and dry finish. Palate: light to medium body with creamy nitro smoothness. Overall: really nice and clean APA, refreshing and drinkable

Tap at the pub. Rating #75. Nice hoppy and drinkable pale ale, very good effort, glad I bought a growler for the house. (2680)

Pour from a growler shared by bsuedekum- thanks again, Blake! Been wanting to try this one for quite a while. Pours a clear, bright gold with a small white head. Aroma of herbal and oily hops, pale malts, and freshly peeled citrus peel. Flavor of dry malts, herbal and oily hops, pine, and grapefruit. Light-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a dry, bitter mouthfeel. Great APA.

Growler shared by Blake. Pour is clear gold with a small white head. Aroma and flavor is light citrus, pineapple, and light orange. Light and refreshing.

Pour out of growler, Darkness Day 2012. Straw yellow pour with lacing white head, aroma brought awesome notes of lots of orange peel, grapefruit, nice dank pine and grassy notes, some slight hints of floral and spicy notes. Taste is a mix of sweet orange, grapefruit, nice toffee, biscuit, bread, nice grass, pine and floral notes, finishing bitter. Very nice brew.

On tap at the brewery numerous occasions. Super easy drinking ale. Very refreshing on a warm day out east in Alpine. Bitter, floral and crisp throughout with citrus and pine character, very thirst quenching. Just like the rest of Alpines world-class bitter brews, insanely balanced from beginning to end.

Draft at Toronado. Poured clean goldish amber. Very piney, some pineapple. Fresh and delicious

Clear amber color with ivory head. Big spicy, dank, earthy hop aromas. Medium body with average co2. Dank ganja bud, cat spray, spicy hop flavors with a solid pale malt base brew--very tasty

Growler pour. Straw with lacy white head. Big citrus aroma. Clean body, quite bitter. Very citrusy. Carb and consistency are good.

Growler thanks to my pal Vince. Dry, crisp, and chuggable. A hint of citrus followed by a torrent of hoppy, grassy, bitterness. Excellent beer.
