COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Regionally grown American pale malt is blended with rich European malts to produce a lighter bodied beer, bright in color, with a taught white head that keeps track of time as you sip. Then there are the hops – four pounds per barrel to be exact. Willamettes, Cascades, CTZ and Summits give this brew a citrus punch and spicy character that greets you in the nose and embraces your mouth with a clean, crisp bitterness.

Sammy (7040) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 27, 2012
Very fresh and good can obtained by Johnsense. Citrus hop aroma, yet well tamed. Cloudy orange and lacey. A big IBU and yet a very good taste and drinkability. Recommended.

Tap @ Indeed. Pours a clear golden appearance with a pearl white head. Very dank, marijuana, grapefruity, somewhat spicy aroma. Spicy, zesty herbal, dank hoppy, orange, grapefruit citrusy flavor. Super dank and maybe a touch overdone but a nice beer to drink.

Glouglouburp (5568) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 9, 2013
In short: A very bitter fruity/citrusy pale APA for hopheads.
How: Can 12oz. Consumed fresh a week after receiving it from oakbluff, thanks a lot Scott.
The look: Clear golden-orange body topped by a persistent small off-white head.
In long: Nose is bright and fresh fruity hops with mandarins coming out strong along with some tropical and exotic fruits. Taste has pleasant honeyed cereals, a lots of hop-related fruity flavors, an assertive citrusy bitterness of medium-high intensity, a sharp citric/lemony bite, a bit resinous in the after-taste. Medium body, a bit oily and with a medium carbonation. Overall clean and polished. Very tasty beer, actually if anything this APA is too much of a palate destroyer to be truly sessionnable, most IPAs are less aggressive than this APA. This is a beer I drank a while ago, I’m slowly entering my backlog, I’ve been sober for 14 days now, not consecutive though, here and there in the past 10 years, still pretty impressive imho.
