3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Really enjoyed this brew. 12 oz. bottle. Pours a light amber color with a decent sized off white head. The aroma is light citrus, biscuits, hoppy, with a touch of malt. The flavor is hoppy, some citrus, yeast, and caramel malt. This is very well balanced. One of the first craft beers I had and enjoyed. Very easy to drink.

Good balance of malts and hops. As expected with cascade, a very citrussy aroma is prevailent. Pours golden which was surprising to me, would absolutely drink again.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: SEP 18, 2010 650ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with an off white head. Faint aromas of juniper, citrus. The nose is VERY subtle. This doesn’t taste like I remember it at all. A heck of a lot more malt than I remember. Slightly sweet caramel malt to start, followed by a hit of citrusy hops. The finish is citrus, tropical fruits, and pine all peeking through the bitter hops. While this is still a good beer it makes me wonder if some corners are being cut.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a fluffy white head that lasts a while. Aroma is hoppy and a little funky with notes of lemon sherbet, caramel, mint and pine. Flavour is more malty, while still having a good hop presence, and has notes of grapefruit, lemon, caramel, vanilla and wood. Mouthfeel is crisp, almost sharp, with reasonably high carbonation and a medium to long dry and bitter finish. Not the most stereotypical APA but very nice all the same and quite well balanced.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz single from Holiday. Golden yellow (amber) with quickly dissapating head but resilient lace. Nose is malty/yeasty. Bit o’ sweet ala grape. Taste is fruity bitter. Longer fruity/floral lingers. It’s beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours orange with a nice snow white head. Nose is quite expressive but not in the way I thought. Has some honey, vanilla & mild peach/apricot but very mild, most dominant is spicy hops. Absence of citrus/pine pretty suprising, though not unwelcomed. Palate seems more traditional, floral & spicy hops, almost a little dry grassy...noble hops? Finishes with those aforementioned hops bringing a med bitter spicy finish. Nice & cleansing, maybe good alternative to EPA or pils, though not overly exciting.

got a little bit of carmel and orange aftertaste, pale yellow look, hoppy, pretty good... little over average.
