3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours clear gold with thin white head. The mild aroma is sweet with malts to go along with a dash or two of citrus hops. The taste seems pretty crisp with modest bitter citrus hops riding above a thin layer of sweet malts. Light crisp refreshing brew.

hazy gold, light malt and flowery aroma. thin body with some grass/hay flavors and a slight hops taste.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: Poured with an average-sized, white head that diminished quickly to a thin film. Good lacing left on the glass, however. Body is a dark golden color, and clear.
S: Weak, weak hops. I’m not getting any more than that.
T: Very light-tasting, in terms of a very slight hoppy finish with medium dryness. Not bad at all, just a little weak is all. Short-to-average duration.
M: Medium-bodied and fairly creamy, with average carbonation.
D: Extremely easy to drink, although a little weak for an APA.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light bodied, light-wheat/grained brew with a pale yellow color. Easy down the hatch, light on the senses, a little too pale (bland), and honestly a little too much like Alaskan used a strain of yeast from a batch of bread. Not bad, but nothing I’d really want to drink again.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle poured into a nonic. Pours gold with a touch of orange and a nice beige head that lasts a while. Aroma is bananas, minerals, grains, and fresh bread. Flavor is bready up front and then a nice earthiness comes through. A little watery and bland in mouthfeel. Not awful but really nothing to revisit.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with light wheat, grass and floral hops notes. Flavor is much of the same with light honey and spice notes. Generally light to medium body with a pleasing light malt finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with paiste2002. Pours a slightly hazed gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left partial lace. Light aroma of bready malt with a few notes of orange and grapefruit hops. The flavor is more defined than the aroma with again bready malt followed by a nice crisp, somewhat dry finish. There is a bit of grapefruit hoppiness present as well. In addition, there is a light bread flavor that lingers for several seconds beyond the swallow. Solid beer.
