Amber colour, golden highlights, slight haze. Rich, cologne-like nose...a little more phenolic than it needs to be and a lot more phenolic than I remember it. The flavour is moderately bitter, a little woody, phenolic, with some malts in the background. Finish is dry and woody. Not the sublimely executed APA it once was.

On tap at Pike Pub, Seattle. Amber,beige lasting head. Sweet orange tasting malt. Quite agile in mouth. Malty aroma, a little earthy. Quite full malt in mouth biscuit/nutty. Good balance of malty hop on finish. Malty pale ale. Drinkable if a little sweet.

Tap@Pike. A fairly easy going pale ale. Aromatic hops of course. Some toast and toffee, with a lemony finish, a bit more English than American? Pretty spot on as far as pale ales go, just not overly interesting.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy amber with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toasted malt, and mild citrus. Flavor of caramel malt, mild hops, and nuts.

Bottle courtesy of kenb: Pours a hazy copper bronze with a thin, wispy coating of white head. Aroma has a subtle caramel toasty maltiness and a decent amount of green grapefruity hops. Body starts lightly sweet revealing some more hoppy bitterness and flavor toward the crisp, bittersweet finish. A nice, very drinkable APA.

Draught (Cold) haze, amber; small rim for a head. Bit of chlorine, some discreet malts and a hint at diacetyl. Som good aroma hops, resting over sweet restsugars and malts; Light but not empty, slightly sticky MF. Unobtrusive, non-ambitious ale, but OK for session purposes.
