spikester (390), Salem, Oregon, USA May 4, 2008 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.
Sleeper (45), Washington, USA Aug 14, 2008 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. SuzyGreenberg (900), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 30, 2008 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 trokini (840), San Diego, California, USA Jul 30, 2008 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. troopie (470), USA Jul 27, 2008 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. kiefdog (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 22, 2008 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.
