(Bottle) Hey, this deserves better than a 55 percentile (6-9-07)!!!! Pours a see thru gold; head fades. Pleasant floral aroma-sensual. Bubble Gum like and a little nutty. Mild acidity, malt and H2o dominate, with small hop precense, Why, becasue this is a session beer!!!!!!!!!!! After taste smooths out and has the qualites of drinking a white tea.

Poured an amber color with a white head. Aroma was floral hops and a lot of malts. Flavor was malty and not well balanced. Not quite sure y this went wrong considering they make such good IPA’s

Its a solid pale ale ill give it that. Much more enjoyable then your macro PA’s a nice hop profile and citrus floral aromas and flavors. Just not a great style and so its rating will reflect.

On tap at the gaithersburg brewpub. It’s a solid, straightforward pale ale, but tough for it to hold up to, say, the 90 minute ipa. Quite drinkable, but not what I want from a dogfish.

This beer pours an orangeish/copper body. Plentiful in various aromas- floral, woodsy and grapefruit. Caramel, wood, earth, and peaches in the flavor. A pretty mild APA but tastey.

Medium amber color with a slight white head. Aroma is cat p---, citrus - must be Columbus - . Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is all hop. Could be a little bread in there. It finishes bitter - not like a DIPA, but really bitter. It’s a great APA. Could drink this all day.
