3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Pored a nice coppery amber. Arome fa citrusy. Flavor of oranges and hops. Nice carbonation and lacing. Quite good. Don’t understand the low rating here.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Old review from notes. Pours sparkling amber with a creamy white head. Active carbonation. Nice hop character with light bitterness; slightly dry. A very nice Pale--too bad Left Hand retired it. Far better than Stranger.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a medium white head leaving spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is floral hops and fruit. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet hop and citrus. Easy to drink a good APA from Left Hand.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 19, 2012 I’m guessing this beer is a bit old because the hops almost non-existant and the beer is retired. Pours a dark orange color with a nice head that fades quickly. Aroma is pale malt and some fruit, oranges and peaches. Taste is kinda bland but not bad. Light amount of fruitiness, light bitterness, almost no hops though. I probably would have really liked this beer if it were fresh.

Clear amber beer, bubbly white head. Light hoppy nose. Semi soft and semi dry palate. Light creamy malt. A little light tangerine hop but also an unpleasant soapy bitter dry note at the end. Splash of lime as well. Almost a good beer.

Orange in color. Srong malt aroma. Earthy hop overtones. Horrible notes.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ Henrik, Bergen. This is a light hazy dark copper-ish body with a big and almost everlasting fluffy off-white head. Some fruity tones in the aroma with peaches, strawberries, caramel and snow. Nice. Tastes like tutti-fruity lemonade - without the lemon. Really - almost scary light drinkable. This means that it’s perhaps a bit of lack in the mouthfeel, but that’s all caught back in drinkability. A nice APA. 19.02.2012
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap @ Henrik, Bergen. A retired APA from Colorado finds its way to little Bergen to spend its last days? That’s almost cute. :-) Pours a slightly hazy deep golden body with a medium creamy white retention. Nose is pineapple, citrus and hints of pine. Taste is mild citric tones, light malts and hints of strawberry. Creamy mouthfeel. A filling and quite tasty APA. I like it.

this wasn’t awful, just bad for the price at 9.99 a six. it was really just a platform for the left hand flvor profile that had to be a result of the yeast strain. i can see why the retired it...
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I’m wondering when this beer was retired, being as I had one last night. Average beer at best and little darker and at little more character than a traditional American Pale Ale.
2.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Aroma - very fruity, floral, somewhat sweet;
Appearance - deep golden, fluffy head, laces quite well;
Taste - balanced though mild front, fruity back, long finish that’s pretty dry;
Palate - extremely crisp, average body;
Overall - now I understand why this brew is retired, such a letdown.
