3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Citrus and mainly grapefruit aroma, strong with nice aromatic hops. Orange pour with a stable, solid eggshell head. Loads of hops but with a surprisingly restrained bitterness. Actually, taste isn’t all that robust, but it is highly enjoyable. Not so much hop juice as 10 oz. of freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice (sans massive bitterness) and 2 oz. lychee. Touch of yeast and slightly stronger bsicuit in the aftertaste. Crisp and full-bodied, wonderful session stuff. Simple, straightforward, and lovely!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, at Kookfest, September 2006. Mid gold colour with decent condition, but not too fizzy. Soft citrus and pine aroma, with slight flowery notes. Bags of grapefruit in the flavour, with a refreshing light bitterness. Relatively understated for an APA but big isn’t always the most beautiful. An excellent drinking beer.
3.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
One of the best APA’s I’ve ever had. The pour was a delicious hazy brown with a small ring of white head. The taste was caramell-y sweetness for a split second, then goes to the hops to finish the job. Not as bitter as an IPA (of course) but more bitter than most APAs that I have tested. Troeg’s has been a go-to brewer in the past and this is no exception! Glad to say I am from PA!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle from variety pack. Typical micro pale ale, but good. Classic taste and nothing special. Alot like Miller Lite if you ask me.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Dark dark amber color with an average rocky white head that diminished slowly leaving a good lacing. Good hoppy aroma. Medium body. Moderate bitter flavor with good bitter finish of average duration.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Brownish, golen in color. Heavy 2 finger foam. Slow to dissipate. Hoppy, filling, with consistent taste throughout. Clean, smooth finish and healthy body. Pleasing Pale Ale. I’ll have three more.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to santa: Clear amber color with an off white head. Aroma, spicy and earthy hops, caramel, some citrus notes as well. Flavor, caramel and pale malts up front with some light bitterness coming through behind it, citrus and earthy notes. Pretty good pale.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Amber colour. Aroma shows some lightly piney, fruity hops (lychee), with subtle notes of caramely malt. Palate is soft, with some lightly sweet caramel flavours and fruity hops, which were both noticed in the aroma, so no surprises in the flavour. Straight forward and quite pleasant.
