<b>Bottle</b> Pours a golden hued yellow, with nice fine carbonation and a dispersed frothy off-white head. Aroma of chipotle, light fresh grain bin, and very subtle and gentle grassy hops. Wheaty sweet flavor, without a lot of body and depth, but an extreme level of drinkability. There’s a strong ring of playdough and some peculiar spicy light florals that I can’t put my finger on, but don’t seem to be coming from the hops. I could be wrong. It’s almost a sweet fruity grain character showing through. Smacks of light grass and some green teas, with a tooth of bran. Palate is a grainy dry glow. Thanks Andy!

Oct 28, 2008 Bottle shared by wolf. Light yellow in color, small head. Aroma of light hops. Taste is sweet pine hops with a very light texture. Clean and crisp. It is like a thined out version of their IPA. Super easy to drink. Probably the best APA out there.

Oct 12, 2008 From Hi-Time Wine Cellars. This looked a lot lighter than I was expecting, pouring a light golden color. A moderate sized head settles to a thin layer with some spotty lacing. The aroma is mostly floral hops with some citrus. The flavor is nicely hopped, crisp bitter hops, citrus and pine notes with doughy malts. Very easy drinking without sacraficing flavor. Good beer.

Oct 12, 2008 Hazy pale yellow with lots of bubbles. A thin fluffy white head on top. Lots of fruity hops on the aroma. Citrus and grapefruit. Also a fair amount of yeast in the aroma. Bitter malt flavor with a strong hop character. Lots of citrus and floral notes. Crisp and easy to drink. Very good.
