3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle courtesy of Oakes. Hazy golden colour with a thick white head. Sweet malty aroma, loads of biscuit, cookie dough and medium crystal along with some earthy and citrusy hops. Flavour is also malty, cookie dough and biscuit, some honeyish flavours as well. A bit thinner and dryer than the body might have suggested. Very faint diacetyl. Good, if typical.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bright copper colour. Earthy hop, vienna malts and a spicy yeast make up the flavour profile. The aroma is mainly the yeast spiciness and straightforward bread/caramel malt character.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Summer 02 (?). Bottle. recently discovered notes...I like this beer, but not as much as the other APAs I've tried. Pours clouded and amber/orange. Lots of hops on nose, floral, but also bell pepper. Not cascadey, I don't think. Flavors are dominated by hops, but not very bitter. This beer can't seem to make up its mind - it's not very bitter, nor very malty, nor giving me a great sense of balance. Back to the drawing board with this one. Finish IS very clean and dry and beer looks great.

Hazy pale amber. Good fruity hop nose. Highly hopped throughout. Long finish is more like an IPA. Great lace
