afireinside96 (817), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2008 12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Pale gold in color with a large white head. Smells of pine and strawberry. Pine, citrus, hop spiciness, and berry are noticeable in the flavor. Nothing over the top, well rounded bitterness, a tad unusual for an APA. Fairly dry for the style as well. Good, not great. verymerrymonk (255), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Aug 8, 2008 Pour is a clear gold with a thin white head. A slightly citrusy, simple IPA. Very easy drinker - more enjoyable than my score reflects. Acknud (770), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Aug 5, 2008 Gold pour with a small white head. Aroma of faint citrus hops and malt. Taste is fairly bland. It needs a little more hop kick. BuckeyeBoy (1645), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 31, 2008 Bottle pours out a crisp gold topped with a white head. Aroma of ligth spice and hop. Tast of leaf hops and a nice crisp end. A tasty brew. BückDich (4793), McCall, Idaho, USA Jul 22, 2008 Bottle: Pours a copper gold color with light head and lacing. The nose is toasty with a subtle spice and herbal hop note. The flavor is chewy with a full malty body, a smooth leafy floral hop lick on the palate and a balanced and refreshing crispy tail. Nice biscuit and dry malt dust note overall. Chewy and sweet. Nice! GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jul 22, 2008 12oz bottle. Nice citrusy hop nose with hints of flower blossom and grape candy. Poured a clear light orange color. Head was rocky and white with decent retention and lacing. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. The flavor was similar to the Mikkeller All Others Pale as far as the hops went. Earthy, green vegetables, grassy, and sprucy. Not much malt backbone. There was a detracting metallic note. Decent, but nothing special. DrnkMcDermott (1832), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Jul 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Tried to guess the style before I saw the description here. Smell upon opening was a little tart, like a wheat, then sweetens up like a dubbel. Pours an amber beer with busy columns of bubbles rising from sides of glass, slightly puffy white head. So it does look more like an IPA. Smell now suggests some chewy malts and an APA load of hops. Taste may be a little thin on malt for what’s boasted. Nice spicy hop load with a bit of PNW to it. Good, yes. Extraordinary? Ennh. joshwilfong (770), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jul 4, 2008 dark brown with white head. flavor has some definite crystal malt with a nice hop aspect to it. a flavorful and drinkable beer, perfect for a social setting. a great drinking beer
