A fairly light pale, even for the style...looks like your everyday lager. The head is frothy and the first sip is creamy. Nothing can hide the citrus hit that follows. You can clearly tell that more than one hop variety is used, as there is no predominance of pine or citrus. This is a pretty potent (and pretty solid) APA.

An good example of an APA. I felt that it had almost that west coast bite that so many look for.

A wonderful APA with a nice floral/citrus aroma and flavor. The hoppiness really comes through from start to finish.

On draught at Max Lager’s on P-tree. Nice light golden-amber appearance with virtually no crown and light lacing. Aroma is very prominent with citrus hops, moreso than the Imperial IPA they had on tap. Nice bitterness throughout and nice hoppy finish. Good subtle malt backbone provides a nice balance between the hops. Mildly carbonated and overall a very drinkable and enjoyable beer. It would be great with some white or common fish.
