Bottle. Pours a slightly orangish amber with a small head . Aromas are a lovely mix of caramel malts and citrus hops. Flavor is a little less spectacular... a mixture of apple juice, caramel and grain dust with some floral hops and a little bit of a fruity sweetness. Finish is kind of disappointing as it just kind of fades away into a smooth nothingness. Almost tastes like it needs to be much fresher... like the hops and finish have faded a bit, leaving a rather malty remainder.

06-11-2008 Vintage - Golden amber pour into a thin, off-white head that mostly dissipates into light lacings. Carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass into a small pool of froth in the center of the glass. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts and hints of citrus. Balanced hoppy bite & sweet malty fruits. Initial smoky taste that blends well into a creamy finish leaving a clean mouthfeel. Not great, but drinkable. (sampled 11-13-08)

12 oz bottle pours a hazy copper. light hops and sweet malt aroma. Flavor is toasted malt with floral hops. Lighter on the hops than I expected from an APA.

12oz. Mellon color pour with a thin white layer of lace. Aroma almost smells like old hops which is odd. The bottle is relatively fresh but this beer is malty and almost tastes like an older IPA. Not bad tasting, but odd for an APA.

Slightly hazy pale orange with a slight thin effervescence of white head that disappears quickly. Nice floral hop aroma over a slight malt body. Light body, taste is mostly toasty caramel malt and a very light hop finish.
