Pours an almost clear amber with a small tanned head. Bitter with a sweet backbone. Nice kick-you-in-the-teeth hopsprofile. Pine and citrus aromas. Also caramel and cream. Medium to high carbonation. Full creamy mouthfeel. Bitter finish with some piney aromas. Good stuff... Thanks to drewbeerme!

Draught at Hop Leaf, Chicago
Beautiful amber color; thin creamy head. Quite good body strength, very good malt and toffee flavor, sweet. The aroma is citrusy and resiny. Excellent aromatic hopping and with the necessary sweet body. Excellent.

12 oz bottle-Trade w/Acknud-Pours a copper color w/a moderate tan, foamy head & great lacing which lasts thru the beer. Strong hop flavor up front, traces of citrus & grapefruit. Long bitter finish. I may not be the best judge of this beer as APA’s are not usually my favorite style, but I wasn’t all that impressed by this one.

I have nothing insightful to add. Far better tasters than I have tried this and said all the appropriate things. I got even a tiny bit more than what I expected out of the best-rated Pale in the world - a really delightful pomegranate-type fruitiness comes out in this. Just unreal for the style.

Poured on draft at The Galway Tribes (Frankfort, IL). Poured a nice darker copper color. Head was nice and managed to stick around for my adventure. Extremely citrus hoppy aroma. I found myself continuing to smell it throughout the whole experience. Taste is marvelous. Very citrusy, hoppy, and with some very pleasant sweet malts. A wonderful beer that will wage a war on your palate that everyone wins.

Sweet jesus this smells amazing!!! Amazing aroma of oranges, grapefruit, pretty much any citrus you can think of is in there, but it’s a sweet citrus aroma, unlike an IPA that is more of a bitter aroma. This reminds me of those sweedish berries candies. My god i couldn’t get my nose out of the glass. Flavour is sweet, its ALL citrus, with that amazing sweetness to finsih, very slight bitterness. WOW. i’m in love! MAN CANDY!
