Orange amber, some yeast haze, thin frothy white head with some lacing.

Taste - Lots of citrus orange and grapefruit hops, bit of grassy hops, bitter in the middle with a background of sweet pale juicy malts. Quite refreshing, alcohol partly hidden by the hops.
Palate - Moderate carb, medium body, textue bit oily and syrupy. Finish has some sharp acidic citrus then clears well.
Overall - Nice flavourful citrusy USA pale alr - great to have it from the keg

Good head on this; not much aroma, tastes like a slightly hoppy Sam Adams lager. It’s a little better than Sam Adams, but as Anchor beers go, I’d rather have Steam.

Git this through a American friend. Nice floral/happy aroma.
Easy drinkable, slither bitter beginning but finishing very nice. Floral, hoppy flavour. But, there is a slide fruity taste to it. This makes it a very nice Pale Ale

Not as hop heavy as I would have liked to balance this beer. Enjoyed this at the Brewery, all in all can see why this beer is so popular

Light orange with thin white head. Fruity hop aroma, almost tropical fruit-like. Pretty sweet, with only the slightest bitterness at the end. Lighter body. Would be a good summer beer.

Bottle. Cloudy amber with varying amounts of head. Nice citrusy hoppy aroma. Decent lively mouthfeel. Surprisingly toasty malt taste balanced with fruityness. Hops flavor is wonderfully complex: citrus, floral, herbal, resinous & grassy flavors are all there with a little bitterness thrown in. Nice
beer for any occasion.

355 ml bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy, yellow/golden liquid with small to medium off-white head. Aroma is quite hoppy with notes of citrus, cereal malt, grapefruit, tropical fruit and hay. Taste is dry, light sweet and medium bitter. Feels crisp and refreshing. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Nice and refreshing APA, less hoppy than the more modern ones. Great balance.
