650ml Bottle: A gift from wanderingman, and I thank him for it. Pours amber yellow with a thick, foam-like head with excellent retention. Smells strangely of perfume and flowers, which I wasn’t at all expecting. Heavy on the hops, which I WAS expecting, but not overbearing at all. In fact, this is an exceedingly well-crafted APA with a touch of sweetness from malts, a little fruit in the back, and heavy tones of floral hops all throughout. Not my style typically, but well worth the time spent enjoying it.

12 oz bottle. Pours slightly orange gold with a medium white head. Aromas of citrus hops, pale malts, some sweetness and what I want to describe as some mild strawberry aroma. Flavor is solid, with pale malts and citrus and spicy hops. Little caramel in there, too. Overall an excellent APA with a nice, strong balance of hops and malts.

This beer pours a hazy golden color with an off white head that is quite dissapating. The aroma is like a pilsner, with very faint aroma of fruity notes in the nose. The mouthfeel is light like a summer pilsner. Faint sweet malts in the nose. Some spicy Cascade notes in the flavor. Not too impressive. Not bad though. Guess a good lighter summertime beer. Good for a BBQ.
