(Tap) Pours a light amber color with a nice looking white head. Good lacing. Aroma is of citrus and hops, and is quite strong. Taste has a more mellow malty character, but quite subdued compared to the hops. Dry pine in the aftertaste. A pretty average mouthfeel, but a very drinkable beer.

CaptainCougar (7093) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - MAY 2, 2007
UPDATED: NOV 18, 2007 Bottle thanks to Brigadier: Pours a transparent bright golden with a frothy white head. Aroma has a big fresh grapefruity hoppy presence with a lightly sweet pale maltiness. Body starts a little thinner, but with a touch of pale malty sweetness and good flavor hoppy balance. A nice, drinkable APA.

Lightly hazed yellow with a thin white head. Piney and citrus hops almost completely cover the malt. Malty and grapefruity. Mainly the rind portion. Mildly bitter with a semi-dry finish. Light bodied.

Probiere (992) - Iowa, USA - MAY 2, 2007
Grapefruit bomb with a slight biscuit finish. Grapefruit hits hardest up front, and after passes into a rather balanced fruitiness with hints of mandarins and plums. Is this the effect of Cascading your beer through the rabbit hole?

Silphium (2969) - East Lansing, Michigan, USA - APR 17, 2007
On tap at the brewpub. Slightly hazy straw-copper body, medium buff head. Rindy, citric hops nose with abundant grapefruit notes. The body is a veritable hops tea with some citrus characteristics but predominantly medicinal and soapy. Resinous, medium body. I didn’t find this too exciting.

Thanks to hopdog for sharing this... Appears a transparent light gold with a small white head that quickly slides back down into a collar. Tiny speckles of lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of orange candy, Sunkist soda, ground table sugar, watered down caramel, hay, light grass, mild fruit, & yeast. Taste of the mentioned aroma with the strongest highlight coming from the citrus and not a whole lot more of anything else. Mouthfeel is light bodied, mildly sweet, yeasty, a bit tart of the citrus notes.

hopdog (7652) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 6, 2007
12oz bottle acquired in trade. Poured a lighter to medium amberish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel and citrus (orange peels). Tastes of citrus, fruity and a trace of caramel and grass. Overall this wasn’t a bad APA and did have a nice hoppiness to it.

TomDecapolis (4221) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - APR 5, 2007
Thanks to hopdog for sharing this one. Pours a lightly translucent golden amber and a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of various citrus hops some caramel and not a whole lot going on overall. Flavor of green/grassy hops, a little too hoppy with linger yeast flavor and just some hints of the malt. On the dry side...this one really fermented down low.

BeerBelcher (972) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 3, 2007
I’ve not yet pursued a beer run to Madison, and this beer is astrong argument for taking such a trip. It is a very intensely fruity APA. Appearance is a hazy pineapple juice color, with minimal head that clung to the side of my glass. Aroma was very fruity; it smelled like peaches to me. Taste was also very fruity; I got more peach and apricot. It was very good. Mouthfeel was quite smooth, with very fine carbonation. I would definitely recommend this beer.
