650 ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. Pours a translucent orange gold color with a one finger white head. The aroma was mild with a bit of citrus and sweet malts. The flavor had sweet malts dominating with a touch of cascade hops rounding out the sides. The mouthfeel was smooth and even. The finish was a bit gritty with biter hops stealing the show from the sweet malts. Overall: Another very interesting offering from the folks at Alpine; this one started out too sweet for me but then developed into a respectable biter ale. Recommended.

Aug 11, 2008 Pours with a large, rocky, off-white head covering a clear golden body. Aroma of floral hops and some malts. Taste is lightly malty, but very watery with some slight citrus bitterness. Dry mouthfeel, light bodied with some bubbles. Good with food, but not too interesting by itself.

Jun 15, 2008 Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a crystal clear straw gold color, with a small white head. Smells of lager yeast, some grain, and mild citrus fruits and hops. The flavor is a bit grainy, wit the very mild hops making a small appearance. Extrememely simple and easy drinking. Was pretty much used asa palate cleanser at a tasting. Nothing offensive, but about as boring as it gets without being bad.

May 20, 2008 Very bland, slightly sour and yeasty APA. No significant hop profile and a touch of bitterness. The florals are present, but in such a small amount, it takes work to really notice them. Pours a foamy yellowish gold with white head.

Apr 23, 2008 Draught Orange beer with small white head. Flowery nose, hops abundant. Dry, straightforward hoppiness. No explosion but just a good punch. Tangering peel. Slightly burning MF, very slight tartness. A good, if inadventurous APA.
