Again, Shipyard not a favorite and American Pale not a favorite ... but this is different from my expectations. More of a dark amber. Citrus and sweet fruit in the nose. Clear dark amber, small head. Taste of amber malts, caramel, sweet fruit, and a hoppy finish, with lingering sweet fruit as well. Apples? Peaches? Of course not ... but not just caramel either. Not unpleasant but not something that I would seek out again.

Hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma has a little bready malt and weak citrus hops. Dry, citrus hoppy flavour, and quite bitter, not quite what the weak aroma promised.

(draught) medium amber with white head and nice lace. Hops and malt in the aroma. Flavor is biscuit malt with nice hops finish.

a bit more sharpness on the tounge then the maple oat but this is as average as i thought it might be. maybe its just the idea of ’organic’ but all these brews seem to just be easy going...but not in a macro brewed rice beer type of way. this is just ......’meh’

Would you ever turn down a beer because it was not "organic"? We all love beer. Who really gives a damn if it is organic or not. This might have been the second organic beer I have ever had. The commercial description states "It’s a cross between west coast pale ale and a british style pale ale". It has the taste of a west coast pale ale and the consistency of a british pale ale. The beer has a light copper color and a walnut/caramel/maple scent. It tastes much like a light in flavor IPA with hints of caramel and citrus. Not too bad an organic beer,but nothing to brag about either.

12 oz bottle. Poured a pale golden color. Aroma was very malty. Flavor was similarly malty, very little bitter hop flavor. How is this an APA? A disappointment overall.
