estoppel (960), Buffalo, New York, USA May 5, 2008 Bottle. Medium amber body, some hops and crystal malts in the nose, medium off-white head. Pretty good malt/hop balance, nice fruity flavors with moderate bitterness.
SpudClampDawg (888), Jasper, Indiana, USA Jul 8, 2008 12oz bottle: Sunset orange pour with a wispy head that creates a skim-thin top. An inviting mix of floral hops and toffee laden malts greet the nose. The malts take the forefront in the body, with a deeper caramel complexity that is balanced by a decent citrus hoppiness. Nothing too crazy here - this is a solid APA that would go down easy during the hot summer months. CelticBrew (419), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Jul 4, 2008 Pours medium amber from 12 oz bottle, forms small beige foamy head, which dissipated quickly. Aroma of light hops, peppery flowers. Flavour is of sweet malted hops, flowers and pepper corns with a lovely smoothness. The beer is somewhat creamy with a floral hoppiness. What a nice pale ale! Would love to try on tap. demdeac40 (133), Hendersonville, North Carolina, USA Jun 30, 2008 Pours a nice light orange with little to no head. The nose is very nice. Hoppy and fruity with a nice bread (yeasty) quality. Easy to drink with nice balance and that nice bitterness at the end. MartiniFiend (47), Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, USA Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark gold with a large foamy head. Sweet aroma of hops and a little citrus. Smooth and light to the plate. Nice hop taste with a slightly bitter finish. arventresca (116), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Jun 25, 2008 Pours lite amber with a white head. Smell of bitterness. Taste is hoppy and bitter. Very refreshing. Very good offering.
