Bottle - First newbie tasting club - Lars brought it. Unclear orange - white edges. Citrus, straw, light malty, grass, high hoppy. Very nice and drinkable !!

copper, slightly cloudy with a frothy head. smooth velvety texture, like a cream candy.- but a little flat and lacks "presence". aftertaste is more barnyard than flower garden.

The perfect American Pale Ale. Citrus aroma, light-medium body. Very easy to drink, crisp, and refreshing. Balanced, with a nice, mild hop finish. Very nice!

Another winner on tap at Freakin Frog in Las Vegas. Very good APA with a nice lingering finish. Would order this again anytime.

I was highly unimpressed with this beer. To call this an American Pale ale is a farce in my book as it tasted almost like nothing...if it didn’t look so great and feel so good in my mouth I would drink it, move on and never come back. Nose is faint malt. Maris Otter...a little maybe. Crisp cracker like notes and a little bit of brwon sugar style sweetness...boring. Hops promised are nonexistent. If I didn’t get a fresh bottle this beer would maybe be great but as it stands it is awful...truly

Bottle. Orange pour with an off white head. Aroma of floral hops, light malt, and some lighter fruity elements. Flavor of floral hops, light malt and some citrus. Solid body and a nice amount of balance...finishes dry and bitter. Pretty tasty.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice orange and copper tone with medium carbonation and big lacing. Aroma has strong floral notes with hints of grapefruit. Taste is similiar but with a light sweet malt presence. Nice balance, but a little light on the palate. There is a nice dry bitterness that lingers in the back. This is one of my regulars, great APA.

Bottled. Golden to amber color with small creamy head. Sweet, juicy, flowery, citrusy and parfumy aroma, pleasant. Balanced and malty aroma with flowery and orangey notes. Quality pale ale.
