Jan 3, 2008 Nice APA, balanced malt and hop aroma. Amber color. Taste has a big spicy bitter bite on the tongue with a nice dry finish.

Jan 2, 2008 Updated: Jul 3, 2009My last rate was from a bad bottle, so it’s gone entirely. Sampled on draft at the 2nd annual Virginia Beer Festival at Capital Ale House Midlothian. Pours a clear copper coolor with a huge head. Good head retention and lacing. Big resiny hop aroma with fine citrus notes. Very bitter hop taste with resin, citrus and caramel malts. Medium-full bodied.

Served to me a hazed golden orange with a small white head that dies to a ring. Smells very subtle of citrus, pine and grass. Tastes toasty, light hops and finishes a little dry. Feel light in the mouth. Extremely drinkable, mild in all its ways including hops but extremely refreshing. Its a shame this one has gone to rest

Dec 6, 2007 Bottle. Sweet grapefruit and pine hops aroma. Hazy amber with large head. Caramel malt flavor initially with a metallic pine hops finish. Very hoppy APA - metallic taste is the only negative.

Dec 6, 2007 Bottle. Pours cloudy amber leaning towards brown. decent white head, dissipates quickly. Mild lacing. Aroma, hops a plenty, mostly floral and citrus coming through, a little bit of sweet caramel trying to balance out the hops. First sip, I immediately get the bitter from the hops. Wait a few seconds, and then, oh there’s the individual hops, citrus mostly. the malt tries to peek through but just doesn’t kick in, hops definately are the powerhouse flavors. Medium body, lighter than it looks, but full of hop texture. Finish is sweet caramel, bitter hops, dry in the throat and a bit oily in the mouth. Not something I could drink more than one of in a sitting, but definately a good kick in the pants to get things started. Glad I picked this one up.

Cloudy amber color; big frothy head. Hoppy aroma, a bit grassy and earthy, nice. Medium body structure, some good grainy malt flavor, with a good hopping, bringing some nice hop oils. Very good.
Draught at the Old Dominion pub in Dulles Intl Airport, Washington DC, 2007-10-07, 6-4-7-5-15=37
Hazy amber color. Some malt and hop aroma. Good body strength, very good caramel and toffee flavor, with a quality and powerful hopping; the hop is resiny and partially fruity, it leads to a very strong and long final. Very good Pale Ale.
