Can into a tulip. The thing that really brings the score down here is the appearance. They want this to be a pale ale, and while the taste and aroma is there, the look is still a deep amber. If I ordered this at a bar expecting a pale ale and this showed up i’d immediately think i got the wrong beer. That being said, the aroma and taste are both great mixes of caramel malts, citrus and pine hops with a lot of tropical fruits on the palate thanks to the citra.

Draft Cap Ale Innsbrook. Medium orange amber, decent head. Hoppy aroma, citric in character, pine and grapefruit. Caramel accented malt backbone, hop emphasis on the finish, matches the nose. Definitely in the APA family way more than in the ambers. Quite nice.

Aromas of citrus fruit, floral hops, and bread. Clear amber with a lasting, off-white head. Predominant bitterness, but a nicely balanced APA. Medium bodied with lively carbonation, and a lasting, citrusy, bitter finish.

Draft at Capital Ale House downtown. Pours amber with an inch of white foam that leaves a bit of lacing. Some pine presence on the nose. Big hop flavor on the tongue and the finish lingers a bit. Nice!

3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at the DoG Street Pub. Deep, dark copper, average-looking American beer. It has a wickedly hoppy nose, rife with wet pine forest aromas. Drinks with a metallic copper character, and tangy, piney hops. Bit on the thin side, and finishing with a bit of cloying tartness. (#4869, 12/24/2012)
