3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20First thought, nice color gold/bronze but slightly hazy. Smells very sweet. First taste very sweet indeed at 7.8% maybe it has chill haze. That would explain the sweetness...not fermenting out all the way. It had a medium body. The bottle says "the pale ale that packs a punch" they got what they were lookin for. Overall not my glass o beer but good on them for achieving their goal. A bit to sweet for my taste but good on A.Alehouse

This beer has a golden color with a slightly reddish undertone. It pours with an incredibly thick white full bodied head. It has a citrusy aroma with hints of pine. It starts of with a good bite has a slightly sweet taste then finishes with that classic IPA aftertaste. Overall a very well done complex beer.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draught at the brewhouse. Very earthy aroma with a great yeasty funk - seems like a Belgian yeast. Solid full bitter finish, but the hops are barely noticeable.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a cloudy golden amber with a small white head that has decent retention and leaves a large amount of lacing in the glass. The aroma is pine, grapefruit, sugar cookie, and caramel. The taste is sweet with sugar cookie, pine, grapefruit, and caramel. The finish is quite bitter with a lingering pine taste. Medium-full body. Low carbonation. A bit too sweet, and a bit too thick.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pretty good. Strong, malty, and hopped well. Palate was nice and malty, semi sweet with hops lingering. Overall good beer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bomber shared thanks to mredwards. Clear golden color with a one finger white head. Sweet malt on the aroma with piney hops and fruity esters. The flavor is somewhat mediocre, with pale malt and dull resinous and citrusy hops. Medium-bodied with average carbonation and some astringency. Not too impressed overall.

Bottle purchased at the brewpub and shared by billshmeinke. Pours with a hazed golden body with some noticeable particles floating around. A large off-white head sits atop. Good retention and lace. Aromas are of pine, orange, resin, grass and caramel. Flavors are of tea, orange marmalade, oxidized hops, sun tan lotion and cardboard. Medium bubbles, somewhat dry.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared at the September iteration of the Santa Cruz tasting series. Pours, uh, gold with a small off-white head. Aroma is crystal malty with a small piney hoppiness and some muddled esters. Flavor is malty with caramel and crystal notes, aged faded hops, and low bitterness. Probably has a fair amount of age on it.
