RAYBOY01 (1627), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 4, 2008 A respectable APA...caramel malt sweetness and moderate PNW hop back, all citrusy and pine-like. Touch too thin-bodied, but very repeatable. dm9831 (601), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 7, 2008 pours amber color, with a dinky head. the aroma was mostly air, and i am beginning to wonder if my nose is working. a bitterness in the flavor, but not the grapefruity bitterness i love in a hophead beer. the finish struck me as rather watery. i can drink more than one of these beers, but i don’t have to respect myself in the morning. xnoxhatex (791), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 17, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Medum amber with no head. Aroma is a lot of American hops and some caramel. Bitter pine flavor is very pronounced but some malt backbone. Thin to medium sized body with min. carb. Pretty perfect APA. JF_GRIND (1216), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA May 22, 2007 West Coast style APA with "C" hops citrus flavor front and center. Bitterness was moderate and the APA had a slight sour aftertaste. Cornfield (4332), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Apr 17, 2007 This pours a light copper & gold body with a good-lacing fluffy white head. The aroma is pretty light, a soft caramel topped by pine & grapefruit. Nicely balanced in the flavor, if a bit thin. Light caramel flavors are evenly matched by the PNW bitterness, but the finish is prolonged and bitter. Not bad. Shoreline Brewery, Michigan City, IN
