Not as hoppy as it could be which is a minor problem. Other than that a very refreshing and tasty brew. Beautiful when poured into a glass. If this beer was rated on smell alone it might be in the top 2 or 3. As is, it is in my APA top five.

Their ’flagship’ beer, and one of the better ’pups’ in the litter, in my opinion. Wholesome, all-grain-bread maltiness with some crisp hop bitterness to complement. Flavorful finish with a decent aftertaste. Hop bitterness is nice, but wish it had more of a hop aroma. Overall, I found it nicely well-rounded and pleasantly quaffable.

This was alright. I liked it better than the IPA they produce. Slightly bitter flavor.

There is something about this beer that tastes a little too nutty. Its not bad but I can’t handle more than two or three and thats just not good enough for me.

This one really suprised me. The clean, somewhat grainy aroma is much like other pales, Full Sail in particular. Color is fairly typical, though maybe a bit darker and coppery than some. The malty sweetness surprised me though, and combined with the citrus-like hops, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was less hoppy than I expected and maybe even less than I really wanted, but still this is an excellent pale. I’ve tried a couple from Flying Dog now and am looking for more.

Not a bad pale. I felt that the floral/fruit tasting cascade hops dominated this beer from start to finish. I didn’t reallt get much out of the malts. The head was very thick and retentious. Aftertaste was long. I will probably try more beers from this brewery.

First beer I reach for on a Friday. Just the ticket. Not too heavy. Smooth, refreshing, wonderful malty flavour. Super rich colour. Usually gone in sixty seconds or so.

I love all of Steadman’s bottles, and the labels look good on my wall, but besides that there is nothing great about this beer. Have a St. Stan’s Red Sky instead. The label is equally cool, and the beer tastes a good deal better

It was a fine brew. Just alittle too much of a hoppy aftertaste to suit me.

Somewhat clear,gorgeous orange/amber. Pretty decent head. Scrumptous nose of malts and citrusy hops. Full bodied, the malt is really something, very toasty and grainy,pretty assertively hopped and are they fresh tasting, like they were just taken out. One to seek out if your a fan of the style.
