Bronzan (103) - Windsor, California, USA - DEC 10, 2012
Enjoyed it at the Bear Republic in Healdsburg. Very smooth and easy to drink. Not much aroma to speak of, but a nice session beer with a little hop character on the finish.

Sammy (7041) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 11, 2012
Bang on pale ale enjoyed at the Tap Room. Light golden colour, lacey,easy smooth mouthfeel. Citrus orange bitterness. Good drinkability. No astringency at well. This apparently will become their main pale ale. Above average bodied and medium hoppiness.

kaser (1005) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - NOV 2, 2012
Cloudy orange pour. Sticky white head. More of a dull and bland taste next to racer x and 5000, so this rating isn't fair. Standing on its own this would be good ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Meridian Pint. Pours a full hazed orange. Creamy foam. Thick swabs of poofy lace. Nose is fresh orange juice and zesty pink grapefruit. Taste is sharp, spicy, oily, quite bitter. Feels heavier than APA. More IPA. Very nice.

JoeMcPhee (7623) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 7, 2012
Pale golden pour. The nose is fruity and citrusy with grapefruit and a touch of soft spice. Dry, but perceptible malt flavour rounding out the back of the palate. A little bit of moderate clean bitterness and some lingering spice. Crackery and delicious. A great APA
