3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20UPDATED: JUL 9, 2005 Clear golden-peach body with a foamy, cream-colored head. Nice clean aroma that is fruity (nectarines and grapefruit) and perfumy with some light, toasty malt. Well-balanced flavor is semi-dry with some fresh pale and toasty malt and subtle hops that build slowly to take on a woody quality and leave a medium bitter finish. A refreshing, nice APA that is subtle and not too aggressive. Freshness is critical with this beer as I’ve had a subpar experience with this in the past.
Notes from an earlier rating:
Light copper body with moderate carbonation and minimal soapy white head. Citrus and floral nose with some light toasted fruity malts. Baking soda and considerable acidity in the flavor. Mouthfeel suggests seltzer. Not right. 7,3,5,3,9 = 2.7

Hoppy maltiness on the nose. Orange golden pour with nice head. Enjoyable mouthfeel and a decent brew.

Bottle: Poured a copper with fluff white head that dissipated fast. Aroma is strong floral perfume. Taste is nice hops and fresh grain, very balanced.

On tap, poured a gold hue w/ small head and no lacing. Moderate hop aroma. Initial flavor light sweet to a light bitter finish of short duration. Taste is bread and a light lemon citrus. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, and semi-dry finish.

3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A - A murky amber orange color with a yellow tinted head. Tight bubbles and good retention.
S - Yeasty baked bread, caramel/toffee, some acidic fruit.
T - Bisctuity, lemon/orange citrus, sweet pale malt, tart fruit, hops resin creeps in close to the finish and sits on the back of the palate all the way through to the aftertaste.
M - Light side of medium at first but grows fuller towards the swallow.
A good overall APA. Excellent finish with good flavors. Hops provided flavor but didn’t kick up bitterness until the last second.

Thanks to iNBe. Quite a nice all around APA. Hoppy but not excessively so, with citrusy and piney hops. Decent malt backbone to balance it all out. Serving: Bottle

Enjoyed on tap at Fat Pour in Chicago, IL while a friend bought 4 rounds of bombs from a 24 year old waitress who looked like she was 29. Great pale ale, wish I had more time to enjoy it. Would enjoy again.
