Dec 14, 2007 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice amber/bold gold color with a light head. Aroma is lightly rye, hops, very faint citrus. Taste is sharp from the rye used, finished clean. Not too keen on this, but good nonetheless.

Dec 10, 2007 Great beer... hoppy aroma, above average appearance. Good malt balance at the end. Hoppy and malty at the same time. I guess that’s the rye. I have a rye based homebrew going right now and I hope it turns out this good.

Dec 8, 2007 Bottle@Home. Floral, malty, grassy aroma. Dark yellow color, almost amber, off-white head, good lace. Very malty, light floral, bitter, grassy, hint of some sourness. Soft mouthfeel. High drinkability, seems like an excellent summer beer to me.

Dec 3, 2007 12 oz. bottle from ucusty. Aroma is medium strength floral, orange and grapefruit and a hint of pepper. Flavor is grapefruit and pine with some interesting bitterness that plays around the back of the mouth but doesn’t outstay its welcome. The palate is almost fluffy, expansive - really leaves you wanting more. Overall, simply delicious and offers a complete package all around. My favorite APA so far.

Dec 2, 2007 Bottle from shp555 - thanks! Somewhat cloudy orange pour with a light-med head. Aroma has a nice citrus-floral hop essence mixed with some rye. Flavor is a nice rye/hop mix that would be awesome if it didn’t have a somewhat "off" grainy taste (not very off). Nice APA that is quite refreshing.

Dec 1, 2007 Updated: Dec 2, 2007Pours a nice dark golden color. Nice amount of hops in the nose. The problem I have with alot of pale ales is the lingering hops in the aftertaste, they tend to last to long but this has a nice balance in the finish. Very well done you ol turtle.

Nov 25, 2007 Thanks to shp555 for this nice pale ale. Pours burnt orange with a generous fluffy white head. Nice aroma of bread and toast, citrus leaning towards lemon, with a spicy rye and "plant store" sort of kick. Taste follows with a pretty tangy bread malt taste and a wonderfully pungent, planty hop flavor. Great back and forth mingling of the flavors between hops and malt. Finishes with grapefruit and toast. Full of flavor, drinkable body, light without weakness. Mouthfeel is kinda unremarkable, but alas. Good stuff!
