May 9, 2007 Golden color with a beige colored, (the color of certain business cards) somewhat fluffy head. Big citrus aroma, not the grapefruity type, more a orange blossom scent. Hints of pale malt and light brown sugar. A respectable smelling APA, although the scent does die out rather quickly. Unfortunately the flavors seem to pick up were the died down scent leave off. LIght lemon zest and pale malt highlight the flavors finish and linger are very dry and only a mild bitterness remains. Decent start leads to a big yawn.

Sep 2, 2007 Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow to light amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Like any of a hundred other American pale ales, but it’s not bad for being run of the mill.
