Bottle. Pours a clear gold color with a small white head. Aroma is straight up piney hops. Taste is straight up piney hops. Well maybe (just) a bit more. Some grapefruit possibly. A dry bitter pale ale that seems much closer to an IPA. Light bodied, sharp, and well carbonated.

Can’t count how many times that I have had this. More of an IPA than a straight pale. Either way a great brew that is balanced and drinkable’ Hops are in your face, but it is not all the bitterness that some have. Great beer for someone that is unsure how they feel about hops...

Sweet and bitter citrus. Very pleasant aroma and front palate. Big hop finish. Super tasty. On tap at tex tubbs Madison

Light hoppy aroma. Cloudy amber color, thin head. Taste is very well-balanced aand smooth to a dry slightly hoppy finish. Very good pale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Growler sample shared with oakbluff. Pale orange in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas are of white grapefruit, white pepper, caramel, and pine lumber. Flavors are of more white grapefruit, lean pale malt, oange-aid, and a bit of fresh herbs. Medium bodied and refreshing. Vaguely like SNPA, only a bit more brash. Paired well with Scott’s amazing prime rib dinner.

Pours a cloudy gold with a medium sized off-white head mostly lasting. Nose is hoppy. Very creamy on the palate, the taste is chock full of hops but is not overly bitter . A backbone of malt subtly enhances and sweetens the hops. Pairs well with smoked meats, especially fish or turkey.

On tap at the brewpub. Comes light golden amber with a decent white head. Aroma of citrus and pine. Taste is lemons, oranges, pine, grass, and malt. Well done APA.

Ale Asylum’s specialty brew. An easy to drink APA. Nice blend of hops, with a light citrus taste in addition. This beer only gets better each time I have it.

I love Ale Asylum’s light, fruity take on pale ales. It tastes like there’s a common ingredient between this and Bedlam (or maybe just the same balance between citrus and malt) that makes it taste like candy.

Clear yellow. Pure aroma leaning to lemon. Cascadey with a quick finish, veering to citrus and then an awkward bitterness. The aroma was great but the tasting killed it. It was this beer that made me question whether the bar cleaned its lines regularly, because it didn’t seem right. (tap at Old Fashioned, Madison)
