Poured up on tap at Dave’s Electric brewpub with clear copper body and near white head. The aroma seems malty, a bit roasty with malts and a bit earthy with a sense of citrus way off in the background. The tast begins pretty neutral and then picks up a mild level of roasted malts. To midway spicy hops come to the surface and are then joined by earthy hops into the finish. Nice spicy, earthy amber.

The beer evacuates the 12 ounce brown bottle an unclouded deep amber color with a smallish light tan head, the lace a thin sheet to conceal the glass. The nose is cotton candy sweet, nice malt tone, with a hint of hops, crisp, fresh, and clean to the senses, the start is lightly sweet with a nice malt profile and the top middling in its feel to the palate. Finish has a benign acidity, the hops delectable in their spicy bite, the aftertaste dry and long lasting, a nice mild and refreshing beer for the hot Arizona summer.

Bottle poured dark amber with a nice thick white head. Aroma is malt and corn with wet dishrag in the back. Flavor is hops and citrus with a light bitter finish.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2007 Pours typical pale w/ shallow semi creamy froth that is shortlived. A very thin ring for lace is all you get. Aromas of crisp malts, flowery hops, and slight biscuit. Medium nectar w/ soft residual effers, almost creamy. Nicely balanced defined hopsy citrus rind and a decent malt backbone. A nice bittering on the finish sets you free for another bottle. I just noticed the alcohol is at 7%. I couldn’t even taste it. I’ll give it a point higher score for that one.

Bottle thanks to cbkschubert: Pours a transparent copper bronze with a thin ring of off-white head. Aroma has a touch of lightly toasted caramel malt and some mild, earthy grapefruity hops. Body starts fairly full for the style with a nice, light sweetness, some bready texture and a subtle bittersweet finish. More of an amber than an APA, but a decent or OK beer.

bottle-caramel amber with a small white head. earthy hops on the nose like an ESB with some sugary malt tones. metallic hops and some nice toasted malt profile. body is crisp and full for the style. pretty complex and highly drinkable in my book. it has a great earthy and piney hop balance. cool beer.

Bottle from cbkschubert. Turbid orangy deep copper colored with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma of orange zest and marmalade, caramel malt, hops, peppery spices. Tastes citric, with malt, tangerine, mild black pepper, and hops. The fact that my bottle was turbid and others are seeing this as clear might indicate that my bottle had some secondary fermentation, but I did not notice any "off" flavors or aromas, so this turbidity, at least in the case of the bottle I drank, was not deleterious.

Pours a dark orange-brown (like a strong tea) with a creamy, pitted, beige head that deposits wispy lace on the glass. The nose is more like an ESB than an APA: dry, biscuity malt with earthy hops in the background. Light to medium-bodied and creamy on the tongue, transitioning to a bitter, lightly salty, and somewhat metallic finish. Again, the flavor is more like a well-hopped ESB than an APA, but I like ESBs. This is a solid session brew from the guys in Bisbee.

Bottle from cbkschubert; Nose to me smelled exactly like celery with some caramel hops; amber with a tiny beige head; flavoris caramelly and hoppy, the hops lasing into the finish.

Clear amber color/ beige head. Mild, but fresh floral, ganja bud aromas. Medium bodied. Decent flavors of lightly sweet, grainy caramel malt, with a nicely bitter hoppy finish--not bad--
