Growler, thanks ygtbsm94. Medium off-white head, clear amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit/orange, bread/caramel, some pine. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, some bread, light spicy, lemon. Light-medium body, light resin.

Orange pour with creamy off white head and lace. Perfumy hops and sweet caramel malt. Light caramel with a nice resiny bitter and a perfumy finish. A tad thin and watery but nice.

Served on draft at the brewpub on 4/30/11. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium sized creamy offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of floral and citrus hops with a significant malty presence. The taste is intense citrus and resiny hops with a tropical and leafy hop finish. Medium bodied. Hop bomb, but fairly nice.

Growler shared by YGTBSM94. Orange-copper color. Thin patchy head. Pleasant bitter piny hop aroma. Medium bodied, very fresh hop tones. Flowery, a touch herbal. A really quality example of the style. Smooth, toasty malt tones. Well done.

orange-tan with white ring, small bubbled. Bit cheesy hop, Light earthy pine, grapefruit with warmth. Harsh bitterness.

Good, but i was expecting more from this "collaborative" brew. punch me in the mouth buddy

Growler thanks to ygtbsm94. The pour is a clear-ish, light orange with white bubbles. No head formation. Aroma is sweet tangerine, rustic malt, sweet orange. Taste is bitter, earthy, mild, nicely balanced, mild butter. Palate is dryer, mildly bitter with citrus and potpourri. Simple. Nice stuff.

Growler shared by ygtbsm94. Pours clear copper with an average, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, cookie, straw, cereal), heavy hops (floral, citrus, pine), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of peach and apricot. Flavor is average malt (bread, cookie, straw, cereal), heavy hops (floral, citrus, pine), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of peach and apricot. Medium body, warmth, and carbonation with a dry finish.

Growler thanks to ygtbsm94: Pours a clear deep golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Has a mild light malty sweetness and some light grapefruity hops. Starts with decent fullness and light malty sweetness before a drier, slightly earthy bittersweet finish. An ok and drinkable APA, but nothing exceptional.
