Lakewood, Oh. - Rozi’s Fine Wines - 22 oz bomber. Nice medium copper pour with a thick off-white head that leaves excellent sticky lacing. Fresh floral and spruce aroma. Flavor has some nice subtle citrusy accents with some nectarine hints and a touch of mint with a nutty back end. Bit of a spritzy mouthfeel for an APA, but does not diminish it, Will keep my eye out for this new brewer from St. Paul.

On tap at the Nook in St Paul, MN. Great malt flavors, but not as much hop as I’d like.

Originally reviewed: 9/30/09. Pours a dark rusty copper color with a big frothy ivory-colored head on top. Great retention; leaves gorgeous lacing all over the glass. Smells of breads, sweet syrup, sugar and molasses. Hmmm. Different than expected. The mouth is crisp and firm. Decent. The hops in this one are more of the earthy bitter sort, rather than the big citrus players. This is well-balanced as I’m getting a wallop of malts. There’s toffee all over this beer. Finishes very bready and mild. This was a very good APA, but I can’t believe this is organic! Very well-done, nice job, Flat Earth!

Very good, citrusy and flowery with a slightly bitter finish. Enough body yet easy to drink.

Date: August 29, 2011 Mode: Draft Source: Shamrocks, St. Paul, MN Appearance: Translucent amber/copper and almost no head. Aroma: Malt and hops. Flavor: Thin bodied, sweet caramel with a bitter finish. Other: First go around with Flat Earth and it was decent, would try some of their other stuff.

A very nice pale ale! Tasty and flavorful. Served on tap at Mad Cappers.

Pours a nice copper amber color with a 1/3 inch micro head. Very nice appearance. Smell is very hoppy which got my hopes up. Taste is surprisingly malty with earthly undertones. A unique pale ale that is not bad, just not what you think of when you picture the style.

22 oz. bottle via trade with tytoanderso - Pours a clear deep copper color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is fruity esters and pine hops. Flavor is lightly sweetened toasted malt, fruity esters, and pine and herbal hops. Nicely balanced. Medium body. A good beer. Thanks Tyler.

Growler @ Flat Earth. Dark orange appearance with a creamy head head. Grapefruit, citrusy hoppy nose. Slightly darkish pale malty flavor with a light citrusy grapefruit hoppy taste. Kind of a weird malty taste.

Draft on tap at Shamrocks (St Paul, MN). Pours a pours a deeper dark copper, reddish glow, with a decent offwhite head, laces ok. Aromas are some nice darker sweet malts, pale and bready malts, a touch of toffee. Some light grassy and floral hops, touches of sweet and dry. Initial is lighter bodied, a bit heavier on the palate than most, with crisp pale malts, a touch of caramel, toffee, toast. With some dry hopping, florals and grass, a touch of lemon rind, decent bitterness lingers on with fresh grass, light florals, and some lingering sweet breads, toast, and biscuits. A touch of sweeter toffee, a bit more malty than I love. A solid APA, a bit sweeter than preferred. An ok beer

A: The beer pours a pretty dark amber, almost copper, color with a khaki colored head. S: Lots of caramel on the nose with plenty of toffee to go along with it. A bit of bread and a shocking amount of alcohol for a 6% beer. At least there are some floral and earthy hops to try to save the beer. T: Quite bitter with a bit of tea and cough syrup flavors which just don’t make any sense and are not any good. Again, an emphasis on the malt as the flavor is heavy on the bread and toffee. A bit of grass and straw to it and maybe a touch of citrus peel. M: The body is medium and so is the carbonation. D: Not sure if this bottle was just old or what, because this beer was not good.
