4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle into pint glass (6/17/10)
Poured a cloudy amber color with a creamy head that lasted the whole glass. Nose was of straw and grass with a hint of some citrus fruits. The taste was surprisingly a little sweet, but with a nice afterbite of hoppy bitters to give it a nice crisp finish. Overall I have always enjoyed this beer and style and was not disappointed. Very refreshing on a hot summer night.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is probably the best american pale ale I’ve had. Has the malt body it’s supposed to but with a stronger hop kick. When in doubt, add hops! Very refreshing and medium bodied. Good ale.

Draught @ Salhojankadun Pub, Tampere
Hoppy and malty aroma has toffee and honey. Flavour has toffee, hints of honey and it is a bit malty too. Good APA, but could be less malty.

Good representative of an APA style. I love it because of the hoppy finish to it. Well balanced, another great brew from Anchor Brewery.

If your a veteran, cheers to this brew. It’s a little pricey but well worth it. I think it’s a true American beer.
