Sampled on 12/9/2009. This American Pale ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is caramel, apricots, malty and sweet. A medium bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. There is a strong apricot flavor here as well. The hops are grapefruity and floral. Good carbonation. Nice balance. Interesting malt flavors, balanced by some big PNW hop flavors. This one is growing on me. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is mostlty bitter.

Bottle. Resin & grapefruit aroma. Amber body with thin head. Flavor begins with caramel followed by buttery lemon and hops. The Sorachi is very dominant. An intense bitter aftertaste.

Pale golden amber with a generous head. Medium bodied with plenty of citrus and apricot on the palate. Easy drinking with a present, yet balanced hop finish.

In honor of Sub Pop records? I thought "Loser" by Beck, but Beck was never on Sub Pop. What? Nirvana had a rarely heard demo called "Loser". That must be it.

from Mondial de la Bière 2011, Strasbourg - hazy golden-orange beer with a poor head retention; a fair flowery hoppiness; moderate carbonation and medium-bodied; rounded and clean palate; a late and decent bitterness; long dry flowery hoppy finish

Aroma of pine, slight celery, a little citrus. Pours hazy dark orange with a big frothy head. Tastes malty and citrusy. The sorachi ace shines through on this one. Pleasant but sloppy.

650ml bottle pours amber in color with about a finger and a half of off-white head. Aroma is lightly roasted malts with some earthy and citrusy hops. Taste is lingering hoppy bitterness balanced with some malty sweetness. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated leaving a pleasant feeling on the palate. I rather enjoyed this beer.
