jahughey (65), Franklin, Indiana, USA Sep 14, 2005 Very faithful, high quality APA. Undoubtedly dry-hopped, citrusy/floral aroma from obviously Cascade-type hops. Quite clean yet slightly rich maltiness quickly finds delicious hop flavor, and, ultimately, drinkability. Yet another of their beers that could make $ in bottles, but focusing on the tap demands respect and admiration. Just a question of principle, a rare thing.
nimbleprop (570), Washington, Washington DC, USA May 28, 2008 Cask at the brewpub. Pours a hazy, yellow orange with a thin, creamy white head that faded fast. Generous cascade hopping is an understatement. Smells like cascade hops (lemons, grass, grapefruit). Tastes like cascade hops with a little bit of a sweet, candy like malt backing. Bitter on the finish but not overwhelming. Session beer for sure and very drinkable. Tmoney99 (3503), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA May 27, 2006 Cask draft at brewpub. Hazy dark amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished. Heavysour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium smooth bitter flavor with a bitter finish of moderate duration. Made the visit to brewpub very enjoyable. Lubiere (3184), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 14, 2004 Called American Pale Ale. Light copper ale with pleasant fruity hops, resinous. Nice dry hops in finish well balanced with malts. Richer bodied offering. July 30 04. hotstuff (3038), Indiana, USA Feb 3, 2004 Draft sample. This beer formed a small sized white head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body was somewhat hazy and uncarbonated with a yellow hue. The nose was light malt and hoppy. The flavor of this beer was bitter and hoppy from start to finish with a lingering aftertaste. The mouthfeel was smooth and tingly. This was a medium bodied beer with good lacing.
