12 oz bottle from a variety pack. Pours slightly hazy-orange with a long lasting white head and a lot of lacing. Aroma is of caramel malt, some citrusy hops and ripe fruit. Body is full and very crisp. A lot of grapefruit hops balanced on the palate by caramel malt and ripe fruit. Finish is long lasting, dry, grapefruity. Nice APA

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Hazy light brown color, small white head. Aroma of white pepper and cardboard. Taste is caramel, straw, lager. OK.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Certainly not pale, pours more of a brownish amber. Hops aroma, pretty well balanced as advertised.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A little hoppier than I typically enjoy, but good flavor and only slight bitterness makes this better than most IPAs, but not as good for me as typical pale ales.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear, yellow, thin, hoppy, a little bitter. Not bad, not great. Bitter linger.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tastes like a homebrewed pale ale. Aroma was roasted caramel and phenols. Pour was a cloudy medium orange with lots of small sediment and a one finger off white head. Taste was very sophomoric. Phenolic with a weak malt backbone with a soapy hoppiness. The hops are very weak and thin for a beer of this name. Nice carbonation. Very basic.
