Jul 26, 2008 Brought back by the Wife from her wild travels to Lake Placid and beyond. Pours a beautiful shadow-ridden amberwitha tdistinct white headthat is powered byu steady carbonation. Floral hop nose. Honey sweet body is tingling with moderate hops but still remains easy drinking. Legs are o\pinpoints finish is very fruity with mellow hops at tip and edges of tounge. an enjoyable brew out of a surprise sample pack.

Jul 25, 2008 From the craft case simply called Dundee: New bottle, same old apa, aside from the mildly humorous sayings on each bottle, this beer is unremarkable. American hops are apparent more so than the malt that they talk about, not bad for the style but not great either. Leaves too much hop bitterness in the aftertaste to have another.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle from sample pack. Pours a dark golden color with a fluffy 2 finger cream head and ok lacing. Nose is mild with malt and some hops. Taste is very much like it smells. Not a lot going on in this one – tastes like a watered down version of their IPA. Light-to-medium mouth feel.

Jul 22, 2008 Hard pressed to tell much of a difference between this and the IPA-if anything this actually seems more hopped than the IPA. More Cascade hops anyway.

Jul 21, 2008 A very average APA. Lots of floaties. Decent taste downgraded with a bit of sweet corn. Not much head or lacings. Some hop bitterness. Probably much better on tap.
