1.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20 Bolt (117) - Boulder Creek, California, USA - JUN 21, 2002
After reading some of the reviews I have to assume I have a bad six pack.
Opening a bottle and smelling the vapor I noticed rusty cap smell, smoked hickory and sweet onions. The taste is very similar with no hops. A bummer of a sixer and just plain grrrrrr. Now, what the heck am I going to do with the other four?

Got this in a Jackson bar primarily because of the ’most states sampled’ thing. Damn you, user ex! :) It’s a gentle, easy going brew balanced toward maltiness and good for downing while shooting pool.

A taste of citrus and a little hop bitter. Kinda like a mild, smoother SNPA.

Real good, but I was expecting better. Had a strange mouthfeel, almost lagerish and sweet from the malts. Out of balance, in my opinion, in an unusual direction for an APA -- this time too malty. Still quite good, however.

Pale golden colour, earthy hop nose. Earthy flavour to start with supporting caramel malt to finish. Good APA.
