May 21, 2008 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. I thought this was an APA? Anyhow im rating this as an APA. Pours an orangish amber color with nice citrus hop aroma. One of the better APA’a Ive had. Nice solid hop flavor, nice balance. Crisp & always flavorful. Solid beer

May 7, 2008 Sample at West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago, Great Lakes Tasting. Clear orange-amber color with medium-small off-white head. Aroma has a fair amount of citrus, though very well balanced in the caramel malt to hop ratio. It is very similar in the flavor as well with a very dry malt body overall. Medium body with good carbonation. Overall a very well-balanced but unexciting brew.

May 3, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of StFun. Thanks, Joshua! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; off-white head with gorgeous, tight fine-bubbled lacing. Juicy, earthy and citrus hop aroma; pleasant, slight dry malt core. Medium mouthfeel: zesty, spicy and citrus hop-forwardness: somewhat resiny, juicy and soft; very pleasant palate; slight bit of candy sugar and bready malts coming through; very tasty, drinkable stuff. Definitely tasted more like a Pale Ale to me than an IPA. Finishes dry: biscuity hop bitterness, breadiness, and crackers.

Apr 30, 2008 Orange-yellow pour with a red tint. Clear with some carbonation. Sweet aroma with lots of roast and malt and a touch of hops. Hints of chocolate. Lots of grain on the taste with roast and some malt. A little bit of hops and a bitter finish. Pretty good

Apr 27, 2008 Pours a translucent copper with thin white head. Mild hoppy aroma. Some sweet caramel balances the hops pretty well. I kind of wish it was a little more hoppy. Nice amount of pine and just a little citrus. Not a bad brew.

Apr 24, 2008 bottle. pours a totally clear amber with a thinnish white head that lingers and laces. great hoppy smell, with flowers, grapefruit, bubblegum, and pine trees coming together in some weird garden of eden thing, with a solid sugary bready malt taking up the background. more of the same in the taste, with the malt being a bit nuttier and the hops taking on a bit of a spicy character as well. moderately bitter finish, quite bubbly, with a sort of tingly, resinous, coating mouthfeel, and a medium body. quite good.
