UPDATED: DEC 11, 2005 12 oz bottle - The hops give this ale the characteristic pale ale bite, and to me anyway it’s a nicely balanced bite. You have to like your hops for this one, but it’s not overpowering.

Draft: Poured a orange hazy with white head. Aroma was strong with piney hops. Taste was very piney almost like evergreen sap in a glass.

Pours a pale orange amber with a creamy off white head. The aroma is pine, citrus, and fruit. The taste is hoppy, grapefruit, and firm bitterness. Overall, it’s a pretty average pale ale. Nothing special.

12oz bottle from Armanetti’s. Pours a lightly hazed, copper-gold colored body with a big, over-carbonated, very foamy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a good amount of soapy lacing. Aroma is fairly well hopped with some florals, light citrusy pines, and a hint of herbal spice. A light caramel and slightly bready pale malts to balance. Flavor is better with some citrusy pines up front with a light herbal spicing and floral hoppping. Light malt backing to balance with some caramel and a very light bready pale malt. Finishes dry with a nice piney, herbal, light bitterness with just a touch of malt sweetness before leaving a lengthy aftertaste. Light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent pale ale. Pretty well hopped with a light malt backing that provides enough of a balance to keep this easy drinking and enjoyable.

12oz pour kind of a dark orangish color with off white head that doesn’t last to long. Aroma is of the citrus hops. The first taste you get that citrus punch which is then backed by the piny resinous hops kind of mashed together.

Hazy golden amber, with an out-of-control head and heavy lacing. This is another typical American hoppy ale: starts with light caramel malt, piney hops follow, not overdone, but the hops overpower all other flavors through the finish. The pine stays on the tongue far past the finish. Good for hops lovers, but not a well-conceived flavor match.

bottle... dark orange with a thin ugly light tan head that is gone immediately... smells really nice at first, bursting with hops like an ipa, a little citrus but then mostly strong pine a bit of dank but then a bo finish, gets worse the longer you smell it... the taste is really dank, mostly hops but enjoyable, wish it was a touch more balanced with a malt presence, however with zero expectations I’m happy... light recommend

Aroma of toast, caramel, citrus and grassy hops. Appearance is translucent copper with light tan head. Flavor is lightly toasty, but with an emphasis on caramel and citrus hops, the finish tails off with lingering bitterness. Palate is bubbly. Decent APA, just nothing too exciting for me.

Pours orange with a thin white head. Citrus and overripe orange aromas. The flavor starts sweet then quickly fades to oranges and lemon. The finish is crisp and clean.

On tap at Warsaw brewpub. Hoppy aroma with slight caramel malt. Amber with a small white head and nice lacing. Pretty simple flavor, light maltiness and very subdued hops.

Copper color with a bunch of small particles suspended in the body and a small white head. Sweet, toasted malt and a touch of floral hops in the aroma. Biscuity flavor with a bit of floral hops and a bitter finish. Meh.
