Commercial Description:
Untouchable does justice to the American Pale Ale, enforcing a strict balance of arresting hop flavor and a smooth maltiness that's just undercover.

Poured amber from the 12 ounce bottle with a fair amount of cream colored head. Lots of lacings. Aroma is more pronounced than most of this type. Taste is citrus hops with a well balanced amount of malts. One of the best in that regard. I would rate this near the top of the session APAs. Hop bandits will not be impressed but I always enjoy a brew with perfect hops to malts ratio. Will be consuming more of this when I can find it.

Pours with one finger head which settles nicely. Smells malty with little hops. Tastes malty with just a little hop kick. I’m suprised it’s not hoppier... Almost a tea taste to it. Body is slightly heavy.

12 oz. bottle - pours clear gold with foamy white head; sweet citrus hop aromas; drinks on the rich side with lots of hops; decent body; soft texture and sweet malts mixed well with the hops; a very nice hopped pale ale

Pours clear amber with an average white head. Good malt/hop aroma. Flavor was a nice citrus hop versus the caramel malt balance. A decent APA, it just doesn’t do anything to stand out from the crowd.

Bottle. Poured deep orange with foamy white head. Much lacing. Fine aroma of citrus and hop. Hoppy flavour with a malt balance. Lasting finish with a little bite.

Courtesy of Tony at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a dark clear golden with thin white head. Little lacing. Aroma is grain, bread, yeast, some lemony-citrus notes, and and hops. Flavor is similar with notes of sweet malts, fresh fruit, hops. Light-bodied with a slightly hoppy, bitter finish.
