Aug 15, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is bready with a hint of citrus. Pretty reddish amber color with no head. Flavor is mild hops and citrus, braced by a balancing bitterness that by no means overpowers. Decent finish.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle from Sondra. Color is sort of copper amber - but it changes with light and aspect. The white head didn’t last long. Bready aroma backed by a hint of bitter. Flavor is more than a hint of bitter. It’s roasted malt with citrus and grassy hop. Very tasty. Balanced, maybe even "perfectly" so. Finish is neither sweet nor dry, and there is a citrus nuance. Nice APA. No pretensions to grandeur, but it tastes good.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle, bottled 4/28/08. Aroma of some odd heavy/earthy fruits, a bit peppery. Flavor is pretty sweet with only a weak, bland bitterness. Malt-based without much character in the malt even. Bland.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle (bottled 4/28/2008). Pours a clear brown with a small tan head. Aroma of cheap wine, some fruits. However, the aroma actually reminded me of Budweiser piss...Flavor is fruity, with a sharp initial bite of carbonation, flowery hops, apple juice. Ok, but kind of weird and blandish.

Jul 13, 2008 12 oz bottle from Holliday Wine Cellar: Clear golden-amber color with a small, fast fasding off-white head. Aroma is fruity caramel. Flavor starts caramel sweet followed by some crisp citrus and a light dry grapefruit bitter finish. Medium body is smooth with lively carbonation.
