BMan1113VR (591), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Apr 30, 2008 Sent in a picture. Pours with a big, rocky, white head covering a clear, deep gold body. Nice hoppy aroma with some bready malts. Good lacing and retention from the head. Nice lightly spicey, hoppy taste with a fruity malt back bone over the long duration. Nice level of carbonation.
IrishBoy (2013), Bakersfield, California, USA Jul 7, 2008 Draft at Seattle International Beer Fest; Nose of very light floral hops and caramel; Clear light amber with a ring of off-white bubbles; flavor of light hop bitterness and caramel finish lightly bitter. bitbucket (1455), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jul 2, 2008 On tap at Famous Dick’s BBQ. Pours clear bright copper with a thick and lacy white head. Aroma of earth and citrus. Medium body and carbonation. Citrus, apple and toffee taste with a bit of bitterness, grass and touch of tartness in the finish. It held up well against the barbecue. Trev (448), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Jun 28, 2008 Pours a clear pale amber colour with large tight creamy off white head.
Aroma is nice floral hop. Light citrus-grapefruit, some caramel.
Flavour is not as hop forward as aroma suggests. Nice earthy sweet malt presence, a little peppery. Good balance with the bitterness.
Very nice APA.
