3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20A pretty standard APA, my usual go-to brew when I plan on staying for a while. Highly sessionable and not tough to put down 6 or 7 of these before all said and done. Pours copper color with light hop scent. Hops balanced well and not too bitter. I’m usually not a fan of the APA style (much prefer IPA’s and double IPA’s), but for some reason I continue coming back to this.
