12oz bottle. Poured clear amber color. Not much head, poor retention, and some lacing. A mild fruitiness. Some citrus. Sweet malty. Herbal hop aroma. Taste has a good hoppy backbone. Good balance with hop and malt characters. Malts give off some caramel, but the main focus is hop bitterness and earthy flavor. Medium body. Good carbonation and smooth.

Blah. Not a good APA. Aroma was so so. Mostly vinous with caramel malt. Pour was a light brown with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was thin and weak. Tasted stronger than 6%. Thin caramel malt with a staleness to it. I could detect no hops in this beer which is bad for an APA. I loved their other beers, but this one just doesnt cut it

Reviewed 12/4/2008 (bottle): Pours a reddish cloudy body. Small whitish head, diminishing. Strong hoppy aroma, fresh smelling. Grainy, sweet-like grain. Interesting aroma. That same sweet grainy taste, maybe some rye. Pomegranate. Carbonated. Sweet malty taste.

Bottle. Nice tarnished penny color with a one finger head and aromas of sweet malt with little else to offer. Flavor is highly bitter with a caramel malt backbone and a little bit of a metal edge. Has a slightly astringent side to it, which is a little off-putting. This is pretty mediocre.
