Cold bottle. No head, murky red brown colour. Smells of kiwi and citrus. Nice. Taste - spice up front, then watery and finishes with malt and tang. Best aspect of the beer is the malty aftertaste. Very little bitterness. Not bad, but less flavour than expected.

trumpetskid (95) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 24, 2013
Pours a dark amber with a nice white head of foam. Smells of caramel malt with some citrus hops. The taste starts off with bitterness, then moves to a nicely balanced malt and citrus hops. This is not as hop forward as I remembered it being when I first had it. I suppose this is due to palate shift.

12oz bottle in a tulip. Pours amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of citrusy and floral hops, a little bubble gum, and a good amount of caramel malts. Flavor the same with a lot of citrusy hops. Average to smooth texture. A pretty good pale ale.

On this on tap at the three Floyd’s bar. It came with a nice thick slightly brown head and is an transparent amber. It has a nice caramel malty aroma and tastes like caramel malts and cirtrus hops. One of my favorites.

kryon (682) - SWEDEN - APR 20, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 2, 2013 Pours dark amber with low white head Aromas of tropical fruits, caramel malts Very pleasant hoppy taste full with resin, caramel malts and citrusy fruits. Great balance for an APA. Just the perfect bitterness that is built up by a great maltyness.

ICEatALAMO (524) - Troy, Michigan, USA - APR 12, 2013
Draft. The pour is a murky orange, some head. The aroma is strong of citrus and hops. The taste is smooth as hell. Just the right blend of hops that it is almost huge with hops and mellow at the same time. No bitterness at all, and almost a sweet finish to it. Wow this is a great beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
