badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Apr 25, 2008 bottle from pizza port. Clear golden/orange amber with a fizzy white head. Strong malty caramel orange and grapefruit aroma. Thick velvet palate. Rich butter, burnt caramel, and lemon taste with a mild bitterness. mjs (1446), Helsinki, Finland Apr 25, 2008 (Bottle at Pikkulintu on 2008-01-24) A bit disappointnmet for me. Hops can be found but something, which I cannot describe,is missing. Too easy to drink perhaps. Still, not a bad American Pale Ale. nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Apr 23, 2008 The aroma is VERY citrus like with caramel, malt, and pine. The appearance is amber with haze and an average head. The flavor is like the aroma with a touch of blueberry muffin. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s great. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Apr 23, 2008 Very citrusy and pine in the hop department. The malts aspect is kinda of weak. The palate is medium thin, but depsite that its very drinkable. Make sure you give it a try. SoLan (1369), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 20, 2008 Orange/amber. Small white head. Huge hops in the aroma- citrus, pine, resin, venom. Subtle sweet malt background. Flavor is more balanced with some pale malt. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Dry finish. Very drinkable. Excellent pale. stetzel (22), portland, Oregon, USA Apr 18, 2008 copper clear pour.long lasting resiny head.classic pale ale aroma of malt,and hops.this is a very well balanced beer.pine hoppiness,backed by malt goodness.medium palate,long lasting finish,that leaves you wanting more.mikkeller does it again oakbluff (298), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Apr 17, 2008 Trade via tytoanderso. Pours a clear copper. Excellent clarity. Soapy head that hangs around. Nose- has that distinct pale ale nose of cookie doughy hoppy goodness. Taste- very well balanced - pine and citrusy but mixes well with the caramel malts. Long dry finish and medium bodied. Nice prickly carbonation that dances on the tongue. A very flavourful and well crafted pale ale. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear, copper body with a massive white, bready head. Aroma has plenty of pineapple, grapefruit, and some toasty rye and biscuit.
Starts out fairly bitter and piney with a rather sharp biscuity middle.
Extremely pleasing and quenching palate. Great stuff.
