Bottle. Poured a cloudy gold with a redish tinge. Aroma had a nice bitter note with some malts underneath. Flavor is bitter but not overwhelming, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

This from a bottle, but also have it on tap recently. Rusty red with a decent but not much more than average head. Big bakery-like malty nose. Drinks with a distinct biscuity basis but mingled with a nice metallic hoppiness. Decent APA. (#3559, 6/18/2009)

Bottle from StFun (Thanks!) Clear pumpkin colored pour, a little carbonation and a pleasant bitter orange aroma. Flavor left something to be desired; started a little citrusy and then jumped to some unpleasant sour and bitterness. Would definitely rerate if this comes my way again, considering most of the other ratings are much higher than mine.

Bottle. Unclear golden orange with a medium white head. Nice floral hop aroma. Flavor is a nice balance of hops and malts. Finish dry with moderate bitterness. A very well rounded Pale Ale that is very drinkable and better than I expected.

Growler kindly shared by HogTownHarry with me. Appearance: Orange/ruby red body, nice white head. Aroma: Hoppy, malty, strawberries, some caramel and citrus too. Flavour: Quite hoppy, a little malty, slight pineapple, nice long malt finish. It’s a fine solid ale. Very drinkable.

Bottle. A slightly cloudy golden orange with a one finger white head,lively carbonation. Aroma is of nice floral,pine and citrus hops. Flavor is crisp,fresh piny hops,citrus,grapefruit and a hint of orange zest,just enough pale malt to add some balance,not overly bitter just nice and crisp,Medium bodied with a nice, pleasing mouthfeel , fresh hoppy finish is slightly dry, very drinkable. One of the better APA I have had.

Light amber color is a little head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Nice tastes of hops and citrus, very refreshing. Another awesome beer from an awesome brewery.
