3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
16oz can. Pours a hazy burnt orange color with a pillowy off white head. Aroma is all citrus and tropical fruits. Less bitter then I anticipated. Taste is lemon, orange, grapefruit, and some earthiness. Definitely a tasty beer, but the taste is a little more watered down then I expected.

Jeez. This APA just completely ruined me for all the rest of the pale ales and small IPAs commercially available here in Iowa. Beautiful light transparent honey color, big floral and pasture nose, and the first quaff is pure grass. Took one click off for SO MUCH grass, but hopheads won’t complain. Very mild bitterness, taking nothing away from the hop flavor. Delicious. As desirable as Alesmith IPA. Gonna have to try to clone this. You Chicagoans are so spoiled...

very tasty with a nice amber color and full head. The hops have a floral flavor and this really lives up to the high ratting given here. I’m getting use to the new wave of canned brews.

Out of the 16oz can, pours a deep golden haze. Head sat at about an inch and left a runny lace. Smells of citrus, mossy grape fruit and some lemon. Taste is much of the same with hints of floral. Maybe the name is influencing me but i taste daisy/dandelion flavors similar to Magic Hat’s Pistil. Palate is nice and crisp. One of my favorite session beers. Well done, Half Acre

16 oz can poured into Belgian ale glass. Light cloudy amber, thick white foamy head dissipating to a thin film leaving small puffy islands. A: pine, citrus, grapefruit, light bready malt. Good nose on this one. M:citrus, creamy malt characteristics. Light tasting, light hop bite/tartness at the finish. Not alot of flavor, somewhat subdued compared to the aromas it’s giving off. Quite refreshing to drink though. Will have this one again.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can obtained through trade with Watson1977, poured into a glass. Pours light amber with small white head which dissapates quickly. Light lacing, medium body, slightly syrupy texture, and nice floral aroma. Taste is grapefruit, some floral hops, and slightly bitter hop finish. Pretty good pale ale

Thanks jbickus! Hazy golden pour with a thick bubbly white head that leaves solid lacing. Very aromatic and floral hoppy aroma, dried apricots and peaches with touches of biscuit malts. Flavor is dried fruits, flowers and grassy hops and bready biscuit maltiness. Nice lively carbonation and a refreshing drinker. Good stuff.

On tap at Sidebar in Chicago. Pretty looking cloudy orange. Flavor is pure grapefruit. No depth. Light and bright and not very good. Sorry, but I hate beers like this and don’t understand why people do.

Draft at Timothy O’Tooles. Pours light orange with a thin white head that leaves a bit of lacing. Slight floral note on the tongue. Big toasted bark notes on the tongue. I thought I bit into a tree and was chewing sawdust at first. This beer kicks ass! I like how the floral notes come out on the finish. Very nice!
