750ml from JW77. Huge bright hoppy aroma. Grapefruit, tangerine, pine sap, biscuity malt. Very bright and fresh aroma. Quite refreshing. Pours bright, slightly hazy gold with a bright, frothy white head. Floral, soapy, citrus zest, pine, tart lemon with a decent biscuit malt backbone. Medium bodied with a slightly waxy texture. Not my favorite style, but a very well done APA for sure.

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.
