On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear dark gold color with a thin offwhite head. Good aroma and flavor of citrusy hops with a good toasted malt and a mild bitter finish. The palate is light and dry and the carbonation is gentle. A well-balanced and interesting APA.

Excellent beer. Nice light reddish color with a decent foamy head out of the bottle. A little hoppy with some honey and floral-like taste. A touch bitter as well with a nice aftertaste. A great beer.

A good average pale ale. Starts out with pine and citrus, with a small head that quickly fades away leaving a bit of lacing behind. It’s an amber color, with visible carbonation racing through it. There’s not a big blast of hops as some have, but a more subtle bitterness. A good session ale.

A nice golden pour with a fluffy off-white head of foam. A little bit of lace remains throughout the glass. Faint beery/hoppy aroma. The taste is extremely hoppy, then a nice bit of malt, then more hops. I would call the hops piney or resiny. Finishes dry and still very hoppy. Nice soft carbonation fits the beer very well.

Poured an amber color with a nice generous head, very good retention, nice lacing. The aroma was hoppy, woodsy, musty, some floral and citrus notes. The flavor was excellent, top notch, somewhat of a caramel almost amber ale type twist, light fruity esters, citrus, but woodsy and musty, even earthy hop character coming through in the end. Mouthfeel was moderate, but full for the style. Nice stuff. Thanks to Bert for this very nice experience.
