Sep 29, 2009 Pours slightly hazy amber with a nice frothy 2-finger head that settled to a cirrus-cloud like film and left nice lacing. Floral hops aromas accompanied solid malts and a hint of freshly cut wood. moderately sharp hops up front on the palate with a generous helping of bread-like maltiness and a touch of caramel and butter. Silky, almost oily mouthfeel, moderately carbonated, and a great bitter hops aftertaste. A classic.

Sep 17, 2009 Bottle from Central Market in Fort Worth. I screwed myself having the Arrogant Bastard first. I wanted so much more.

Pours a clear dark amber color with golden orange hues when held to a light source. Frothy 2 finger beige head that slowly receeds into a lasting cap leaving sporadic lacing.
Citrus floral hop aroma with a nice malty butterscotch backbone. Hints of lemon peel, grapefruit, pine and caramel malt.
Very hop forward for a pale ale. Crisp floral citrus hops with lots of lemon peel, grapefruit and a nice caramel malt backbone. The malt presence is pretty prominent for the style as well. Crisp and quaffable with a slight pine dry hoppy finish.

Sep 2, 2009 Has a slightly cloudy dark golden amber color. Aroma is of hops with a little floral undertones. Taste has mostly hops with some malt, yeast, and some floral undertones. Has a nice and pleasant bite in the aftertaste. A good ol’ American brew.

Aug 29, 2009 Pours a dark, reddish amber with a generous, off-white head. Hoppy (pine) bouquet up front supported by subtle malt fragrances. Big hop flavor, again supported by a fruit maltiness, followed by a fair amount of hop bitterness, but not too much for the style. Malt flavors become more assertive, bringing out pear and toffee, as the beer warms into the 50s. Creamy, almost slick mouthfeel, and a clean, biscuity finish. Won’t be my favorite , unlike a lot of purported APAs, it definitely nails the style.

Aug 26, 2009 Draft at Ebenezer’s. Oddly, I had never had this before and my girlfriend ordered it so I gave it a whirl. pretty standard APA with a very British character with it, English hops, some crystal malt in there as well. A bit grassy, but very drinkable. Alright.
