3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 pantanap (2835) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 19, 2012
10oz pour at the source... Pours a medium hazy orange brown hue and topped with a medium frothy white head... Red grapefruit citrus along with a fairly apparent malt backbone that adds a sense of sweetness... Flavors are a combination of caramel biscuity malt adding some sweetness that pairs with a mild sbtteringitter citrus hop profile. Just shy of medium bodied with active to semi-lively carbination. Lasting bitterness on the backend.

Plenty of cascade hops, although not quite to the same level as the classic SNPA. Crisp and well-balanced. Medium bodied. A bit oily - the beer coats your tongue & allows the hops to linger. A perfect spring/summer session beer.

Very dry and crisp IPA, pine and citrus smell, medium golden color. Medium white head. Very yummy hoppy tatste throughout, subtle elements of roasted seeds, just a very samll malt tatste. Balanced and satisfying.

Orange color reminds me of a citrus wheat. Taste is orange hops and very dry. Dry and fruity pale.

Clear Orange with a rather simple flavor of Citrus Hops, Grapefruit and yeasts. Good to have if you’re looking just to relax but nothing spectacular.

Slightly hazy light amber pour with thick foamy off-white head. Aroma is floral and citrus with some light sweetness and grassy notes. Taste is sligthly bitter citrus hops with some sweet maltiness and also a touch of spiciness. Very nicely balanced APA that I hope to enjoy again soon.

A good pale ale, but unlike other Great Lakes brews I can definitely say "I’ve had much better." Loved the aroma, lacing, and flavour, but left a disagreeable aftertaste.

Originally reviewed: 11/25/08. Pours a nice deep copper with minimal head, but with excellent lacing/webbing. This beer smells like grassy hops and pineapple. Nice smell. Smooth and crisp. Comes across more like an IPA than an APA, but I love it. Nice bitter hop prescence right up front, but balanced perfectly by the sweet malt that makes this ever-so drinkable. Some citrus also pulls through slightly. I was excited to try this and it did not disappoint.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 ads135 (490) - Lawrence, USA - APR 22, 2012
My favorite Great Lakes beer. Floral and citrusy with a nice touch of spice at the end. Pours golden amber. Medium body.
