| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2009 Very light, fruity aroma. A bit of bread dough and fruit, a little sour, but overall pretty flavorless. Drinkable, actually pretty amazing how it can have so little flavor, then a nice aftertaste of yellow fruit and zuccini. I liked this more than its rating. guyinchicago (526), marengo, Illinois, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Thick orange-brown color with a nice soapy head. Sugary orange chocolate aroma. Sweet medium dark malts collide with the solid bitterness which has a nice citrus tanginess in the finsh. Very clean and fresh, capturing some quality malt notes that arent so far off from a Brown Ale. Smooth and creamy, full of flavor with exceptional balance. Well done.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 25, 2009 12 oz bottle from my beer director at Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen. Pours a hazy golden-orange color. Decent head with some nice residual lace. Aroma is citrus but not as hoppy as expected for an "APA".Flavor is full of malt in the beginning, followed with a very dry hoppiness that stays on the tongue. This isn’t as carbonated as I’m used to...but I really like that about this brew. Wasn’t as hoppy as I personally enjoy or expect for most APA’s. Overall, I liked this one and think its very underrated. ditmier (1059), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 23, 2009 2008 Bottle, thanks motortoddhead!! - Pours a lt orange with a large, off white head...aroma is fruity malt, a little grain...flavour is not what I’d expect from a pale ale, light, sweet malt, finishes with a clean and bready bitter end...very light, but quite enjoyable Taverner (837), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Not much hop flavor. After cracking the bottle, there are fruity esters in the aroma, but very little hop. A plus that I love the malts NG uses and this is no exception. Pours cloudy golden with no head. Finish is clean.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Bottle poured to glass. Yellow in color with a slight haze.. Sweet maly profile in the aroma and taste. The hops are nicely paired for a full flavor and evenly balance brew.
