WeeHeavySD (1564), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jul 8, 2008 12oz from a Dick’s Variety Pack bikesandbeer and I bought in Oregon. Pours orange with a frothy white head. Nose is off and strange. Taste is hopped with a decent bite. Overall eh.
HoppyGuy (78), USA Jun 26, 2008 On tap. Pours a slightly hazy medium amber color with an ample white head. Aroma is of citrus, and a tiny bit flowery. Good citrus taste with floral undertones. Good balance between hops and malt, with just a hint of sweetness. If you don’t care for an overly bitter pale ale, you might try this brew. I’d like to pair this beer with a traditional fried chicken dinner on a summer day. ratman197 (2190), Arvada, Colorado, USA May 22, 2008 Bottle poured a clear amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, eartrhiness and light fruittiness. POalate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, light earthiness and light fruittiness with a smooth moderatly bitter finish. scrizzz (455), kirkland, Washington, USA Apr 30, 2008 slight haze, dark gold, 2 finger head with largish bubbles. good light and full uk hop aroma. fair beer, honey sweetness, bitterness crescendos a bit too far and finishes a little sharp. there’s a little metallic edge throughout but i’d still happily drink plenty of this. spikester (364), Salem, Oregon, USA Mar 31, 2008 Pours cloudy amber with a sizabe off-white head. Lots of lacings.
Very nice APA, hops leading the malts, slightly bitter finish.
Middle of the road as far as hop level but a perfect APA for my palate.
Recommended.
