3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bright amber. Thin head. Fruity hop aroma, maybe a bit overripe in the fruitiness or even diacetyl creeping in there. Light peachy fruit character. Big body for style but not a ton of malt character. Good, but certainly not my pocket of APA.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft @ brewpub. Warm golden orange with lasting head. Aroma has late diacetyl, but is mainly pinyon pine. Nice medium body. Sweet graham cracker, cookie malts, balanced by pine/fir hop character and a touch of tropical fruit. Nice overall.

Draft pint at the brewpub, 9/18/06: Ligttle aroma to this true amber elixir with a firm pillowtop. But it delivers a nicely woodsy-piney hoppiness over a solid malty goody. Tops.
