22 oz. bottle, from John’s MarketPlace in Portland. Pours cloudy copper color with a really large and quite creamy off-white head that diminished at a leisurely pace leaving thick lace. Mildish aroma of toasty malts with citrus and floral hops. Flavor is good, toasty malts with a bit of toffee, orange zest, spicy pine and lemon rind in the finish. Medium body, a bit oily with gentle carbonation. Overall a cut above my expectations for the brew.

(Bottle) Pours orange to amber with an off-white head. The aroma holds orange peel/orange juice, spices, flowers and mild piny up front wiu robust malty undertones of nuts, deep toast and caramel. Hints of burned cookies and apricots. The flavour is light sweet, near medium bitter and tiny acidic with notes of citrus, flowers, spices, light wood, grass, toast, light caramel and hints of cookies. A whisper of fruits. The mouthfeel soft, round and almost velvety with a medium carbonation. Citric, grassy, woodsy and balanced malty finish. Medium bodied.

Bomber bought @ Kihoskh. Pours tiny hazy golden with a rather small creamy offwhite head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of lacing on the glass.

Taste is sweet and bitter with caramel, apricots, pineapple and hints of orange zest, grass, pine, biscuits, metal and alcohol. Mouthfeel is slightly watery, round and light bodied.

Citrus, lemon, orange and vanilla on the nose. Very light golden color with a small foam top. Light, citrus hops with other flavors of orange, vanilla and a faint caramel malt. Slight carbonation with a thin texture. Overall, a pleasant ale with nice flavors of orange, citrus and hops. I’d give this a B rating.

(22oz bomber thanks to mora2000) light hazy yellow, lasting creamy off-white head. Nose of cream, light sugary orange, quite malty, and melba toast. Taste is lightly bitter but well balanced, agave, grapefruit, bit papery. Creamy soft finish, very malty palate finish.

Tap @ PW. Light, clear, orange-gold pour with a short white head leaving heavy lace. Good head retention. Nose is light toast. Bread, light citrus, grass, sprouts. Crisp, medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Finish has some caramel, biscuit and some vegetal bitterness. Sessionable and quite tasty, but a bit more aroma would suit this APA to the ground.

(22oz bottle) Pours a cloudy dirty orange body with a medium rocky cream head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, orange, and light soap. Flavor of orange, bread, grapefruit, and caramel with a bitter finish.
