hazy orange, medium tan head that quickly dissipates, nice lace. nose is lightly hoppy, citric and pine. flavor is creamy caramel offset by the citric and pine hops. medium bodied, nicely bitter lingering finish. nicely bitter brew, perhaps not quite as exciting as i rated it, but i probably gave it an extra point for its drinkability. single bottle purchase @ binny’s orland park.

from crackedkettle.com - cloudy orange colour with a little persistent foam; robustly hoppy with notes of apricot and mango; some cream and dust too; good malt body and quite velvety palate; a fair bitterness introduces a long fruity and hoppy finish - very good beer again from Mikkeller

Bottle pours medium brown/gold with a fluffy off white head. Big time grassy aroma with some pine and flroal hoppiness. Medium body with a medium hop bitterness that replicates the aroma. Bitterness nicely matched with the slight candy sweetness and bread like body. Very nice APA made by a non US company.

Pours Hazy copper with a 3 finger light caramel tan head that has great retention and leaves some nice sheets of lacing. Aroma is caramel, citrus, toffee, toast, an odd hearty grain note that is hard to pin down, grassy hops, and a decent helping of pine. Flavor is caramel, burnt sugar, toasted wood, citrus hops, blood orange, star fruit, toasted grain, crusty french bread, cedar and pine, nice crisp mineral notes, mango, honeydew, a touch of buttered toast and straw. Finish is bitter hops, grapefruit, a little pine, fading dark caramel, toasted nuts and toasted wood. Palate is medium thin, with a slightly slick feel leading to a pleasantly dry finish. Really good stuff, not quite enought to knock 3F Alpha King off it’s throne, damn good though. When you take into account the $8.99/500ml bottle it’s seems like it might not be a great deal, but I would still recommend trying it at least once.

500 mL. Pours an almost hazy orange with a two finger beige, fluffy head with great sticky lacing and awesome retention. Aroma is sweet caramel malt and orange juice. Taste is very on the hoppy side with perhaps not enough malt backing, but hey, this is awesome. Caramel flavors are quickly overtaken by a crazy amount of piney and citrus hops ending with an incredibly bitter, dry, nutty finish. Bitterness lingers on the palate for an eternity. Very unbalanced but still excellent.

Bottle. Fruity hops aroma with some malt sweeness. Orangeamber colour with high beige head. Bitter flavour of hops, grapefruit and wood with a touch of orange. Dry aftertaste.

bottle from Oak Tree. LIghtly hazy dark orange/light amber. Aroma of citrus- grapefruit, pine, some resin, a touch of tropical fruit and some toasted malts. Taste has a good deal of citrus, pine, earth, and a good deal of bitterness for a pale ale. The body backs it up well enough for a relatively low gravity beer- molasses, some toasty malt and a touch of fruit. Hop character could have been just a bit fresher, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Bottle. Pours golden/orange with a small head. Great aroma with hints of fruits and flowers, but mainly hoppy. Nice flavor dominated by hops, starts a with a citrus/fruity flavor before the hops take over. Really easing drinking and quite enjoyable.
