Commercial Description:
In another Twist on the American Pale Ale style, we’Jve created a deep amber ale using Pale Ale and dark crystal malts. This beer is generously hopped with centennial and Chinook hops in the kettle, cascades in the hop jack and finally, a healthy dose of pungent columbus hops for dry-hopping. The result is a very American hop flavor and aroma seated into a rich malt background. The body is medium and hop flavor intense. Something to release you from the bonds of any ordinary pale ale!
O.G. - 14.25/1057. Hops - 52 IBUs.

Tap @ FS, pours a brownish amber with a nice foamy tan head, great lacing. Hoppy aroma of pine/resin, and mild citrus. Flavor is a good hops bite with a touch of spiciness that lingers. Another solid, drinkable and interesting APA from FS...

On tap at the brewpub. Dark amber, boardering on red or even brown. Served with no head. Very pleasing hop aroma. Grapefruit and pine trees. A touch of a sweetish aroma. Loads of citrus hop flavor with a strong bitter finish, and very easy on the palate. I heard it is even better cask conditioned.

On tap: I liked this one. HAd a nice light amber color. Not much head by the time it reached the table, so can’t really comment about it. Also not really much lacing/carbination happening. Had a nice malty scent. And the flavor was suprisingly hoppy (not a lot, just none in aroma) and malts ... well balanced.

Ha ha, I finally beat Indra to a Free State Beer! Had several at the KC Bier Meisters Homebrew competition, Steve Brandt brough t out this and the Uptown Brown. It was pretty dark for a pale ale, browninsh orange with a good sized white head. The aroma is floral hops and some mild maltiness. The flavor is nicely balanced, but with a strong hops flavor. The hops are floral and spicy. Real nice mouthfeel. The aroma is unusual for a Free State beer because they tend to be more subdued. I really enjoyed this and I am going to drink several more tonight.
