UPDATED: DEC 16, 2008 Bomber. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. This is the 3rd separate time I’ve had this and only the first time was I blown away by the aroma. Not sure what the deal is. The nose is still good with a floral, citrus/melon character. I seem to remember something more intense. Anyway, the flavor is very crisp and very clean. It’s straight up APA with a pleasing level of caramel sweetness, a fairly dry lemony finish, and a decent amount of citrus hoppiness throughout. There is a slight soured fruit thing going on that is barely noticed. This is a fairly competent pale ale, though on the lighter side.

Okay, finally got another good bottle of this. A 12 oz. from Bruisin Ales. Maybe this one is fresher, but the hop character is certainly much stronger than the past couple. The aroma is quite potent, lots of piney, herbal hops with juicy citrus. The mouthfeel is spritzy and medium light. This is quite a drinkable beer with a surprising level of hops for an APA. This is juicy and citrusy at first until a drying bitterness sets in. It reminds me of tea. This is one hell of a pale.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a deep amber with about a finger of white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus hops. Taste is about the same. Lightly bitter. Medium bodied with a decently thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, I would gladly drink this again.

TheJestersBeer (802) - SWEDEN - MAY 13, 2012
355ml can. Pours a hazy, medium amber, white head. Hoppy, very herbal aroma, caramel, spruce, citrus marmalade, grapefruit. Dry, light to medium body, medium bitterness, balanced CO2. Hoppy, floral taste, carmel, mango, malt, resin. Thins out very quickly, a bit watery. (2012-05-05)

kdm1984 (134) - Missouri, USA - MAY 12, 2012
Decent flavor - malty and hoppy, piney but not too piney. Problem is it doesn’t last long and isn’t too terribly memorable. Cool name, but more solid than spectacular.

dnstone (1837) - Alamogordo, New Mexico, USA - MAY 7, 2012
Nice golden color with a descent off-white head that lingers. Dry hop floral-citrusy, slightly piney aroma. Medium bodied and smooth; a nice malt backbone (not too much) with a nice floral hop character...flavorful with a clean finish.

FURLYSURIOUS (185) - Orono, Minnesota, USA - MAY 2, 2012
I love that this one is available in a 12 can pack now. Poured from 12oz can to pint glass: Looks nice. A mellow, muted gold body with a finger of dense, slightly off white head. Decent lacing and hardly any beading. The nose is good and balanced... earthy and citrus hops cut with caramel and sweet grain. The taste highlights many of the same qualities - again, very balanced and totally session worthy. Overall, this is a solid brew. Not really my go-to style but I’m all in when it’s this good.

Draft. Pours cloudy light brown with very little head. Aroma is completely floral. Taste is crisp with some hop bite on the finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Awesome apa.
