bottle-i made my way through a fairly fresh 6pk about 2 months ago. At first, i didnt care for the beer at all. I had flying dog IIPA wild dog right before it, so i was biased. Subsequent visits to this beer definately improved. nose is mostly fresh citric and lighty grassy/green hops-pretty pleasant. flavors show pale grains and light hops, but for some reason, i get a lager character, maybe in the hops. I dunno. its pretty decent though. body is soft with pleasant sharp carbonation. short finish of light citrus. a decent session pale from Indiana.

Aug 18, 2008 Pours a golden orange with a pretty thin head that disappears quickly. Aroma is light and somewhat sweet...not a lot of hops, and even a dash of sourness mixed in...pretty odd for an APA. Flavor is some burnt malts, and a whole lot of bitterness, without much of a hop profile coming through otherwise...maybe a hint of the Cascade hops, but I’m striving to find much. Palate is a bit watery and underwhelming. Not a very impressive beer, which seems to be all about being bitter...concur with others that this is a bit confusing for the style.

Jun 23, 2008 An OK pale ale. In the bottle, this one is dominated by wheat and grass, but on tap, it is much more hoppy and malty. Has a copper finish in both versions, which I didn’t care for too much. I liked the different hop profile in the tap version. A good session local.

Apr 27, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with BBB63. Pours a hazy amber with a thin linen white head that faded to a ring after two sips. Very light aroma of grassy hops. The flavor is mostly grassy hops with virtually no malt. This flavor is short-lived and the beer finishes bitter and tasteless, much like the white pith of an orange. The bitterness lingers on the palate for a bit after the swallow. Not very good.

Apr 24, 2008 Slightly hazed amber color with a modest head of dark cream colored bubbles. Sweet aromas, with pale malt, caramel, cream, orange zest, and pumpernickel. A lot of things in the aroma, but none of it comes together that well. Caramel and orange flavors dominate. Some floor cleaner qualities, such as Murphy’s Oil Soap. I am reminded of a stronger amber with a touch more hopping. I’m just not getting it.

Apr 17, 2008 A good fruity drink with a mild hoppiness throughout. Pours orange and cloudy with a medium creamy head. A short lived tart aftertaste follows as you progress thru your drink. No punches here, its a decent brew.
