Oct 26, 2009 Lightly hazy gold pour with a moderate, loose white head, temporary lace. Aroma is an interesting pairing of very floral hops with butterscotch. Flavor again fronts with a lot of fresh hop aroma, floral, citric, dank, some tobacco in there. Malts are more caramelly than butterscotchy in the mouth. Also a distinct cinnamon spiciness. Zesty, somewhat warm on the palate. I like it.

May 21, 2006 Updated: Jun 12, 2006Bottle (via BeerBeast): Outstanding!!!!! Just a fabulous beer. Aroma is soft and delicate, taste is full yet not overpower ing with any one thing. i kept thinking the taste was malts, no wait hops, nevermind malts (so a tad more malts than hops), so balanced and good!! The best beer I’ve had in a long while, especially when you consider its one of those underrated APAs, its outstanding!!!

Feb 2, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of my Summer 07 SS. Golden yellow/orange pour with a sudsy, bubbly white head. About 2 fingers thick with some decent drip lacing. Nose of skunky hops, citrus fruits, stale pale malts, cereal grains and adjunct sugars. Fore is heavily astringent, followed by citrus hops, dusty grains and malts, broken down sugars and some other fruity esters. Midway through I pick up an off flavor that I can’t put my finger on, but it’s not pleasant or welcome. Kind of fades away on the back end but it’s still there and drags the beer down. Light to medium bodied, slick palate and mouthfeel. Finish is better, some citrus hops, grains, sweet malts, honey and floral notes.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Poured an amber color with a white head. The aroma was hops, citrus and pine. The flavor was caramel, hops, and flowers. Overall, a tasty pale ale.

Dec 16, 2007 Gold color with a decent amount of head formation. Sweet aroma with considerable hop scent mixed in. Grainy flavor. A bit of hop bitterness with some citrus and earthy flavors. Fairly unenjoyable to me.

Jul 1, 2006 Good beer, nice floral hop aroma and hazed amber color. Taste is mellow and soft for an APA. Sessionable.

Oct 5, 2006 Well balanced! Hops and malt both come through. Color is light amber, not "pale". I’m an IPA fan, but I like this better than Southern Tier’s IPA. A nice surprise in a World Market variety pack.

Sep 25, 2008 Pours a slightly golden color with a small white head. Aroma is of hops, slight matl, bubble gum, corn, and citrus. There was more in the aroma than in the taste. Body is overly watery, but a lot of flavor still comes through. Taste is a nice hop bite, followed by some malt to balance it out. Not overly amazing, but it is refreshing and easy to drink.
