3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Federal Bar, pours an opaque orange with a small white head. Aroma of mild floral hops, a bit of fruitiness, and some caramel biscuity malt. Flavour of floral hops, some herbal hops, and biscuity malts. Full flavoured, especially for a pale ale. Great stuff.

Had on draft at the Beacon Pub in Forest Park Illinois. Pours a cloudy light orange, with thick white fizz on top that has some nice retention. Tastes a little flat, but has some hop flavor that is enjoyable. A decent APA.

This is a fantastic apa! Fruity, not quite the IPA/apa I’m accustomed to, but the perfect grass mowing beer. Tangerine orange delicious!!

Bottle at a friend’s house. Very nice, sweet taste, slight bitter aftertaste. Worth revisiting.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle poured carefully to a 1/2 pint taster so as not to rouse the light sediment at the bottom, but still hazed with a orange/gold color, good persistence to the silky, off white, bubbles & cream head, and coating ribbons, waves, and spots of lacing. The aroma was expressive, with mid-fruit as peach, citrus as grapefruit & orange, some resin, soft grain & caramel, and malty sweetness. The flavor was mellower, and added a moderate hop bitterness with a nice blend of citrusy, earthy, rind-like, and lingering characteristics. Smooth malt to balance, with a medium body. Whether a mild IPA label, or as a strong APA, I found it flavorful, crisp finishing, and very quaffable.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From bottle. Pours deep orange gold. Some tiny specs of suspended protein or yeast (not sure if this is usual). Not much of a foam head. Very sweet and citrusy/spicy nose. Has a medium body and tastes much less sweet than I thought it would. Much more if a lite caramel and bready note and a very bitter finish...almost too bitter for my liking.

Really well done apa. Nice smooth hops. Caramel undertones. Finish has citrus and some resin bitterness. Nicely done again by this brewery
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
A finger and half of head on a hazy, dark straw colored body.
The aroma is grapefruit and lemon with a milk note; interesting but good.
The taste has a great balance of the malt sweet and hop bitterness. The bitterness comes through as lemon and pine.
The texture is smooth and soft with moderate carbonation. Incredible.
A great APA.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This beer’s aroma is hoppy, and the color of the beer is a cloudy reddish orange with a minimal white head and sediment. This beer is of a medium bitterness with some umami, and the combination of the medium-full body, sticky yet creamy texture, average carbonation, and the bitter finish do combine nicely.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep orange amber with a medium creamy off white head that laced and tons of floaties. Aroma of fresh squeezed oranges, some sweet caramel malts. Overall the nose is hoppy but a bit sweet. Flavor of again fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice. Some of the malt sweetness is there, but overall this drys out pretty nicely while adding a nice malty finish to this nicely hopped APA.
