Brewed by Otter Creek Brewing
Style: American Pale Ale
Middlebury, Vermont USA

This is a very good APA. Aroma was a tad on the weak side. All hops there. Pour was a nice medium gold with a pillowy one finger white head. Taste was nice and strong. Heavy in the malt. Strong caramel malt presence with a huge bitter hoppy aftertaste. Nice thick and carbonated mouthfeel. A stronger aroma would have been this closer to the 4s. Very nice.

Tea and yeast aroma. Golden color, thin orangish head. Orange peel taste with faint traces of yeast. Grassy finish. Rather simple and at times tastes more like hop flavored seltzer than beer.

Bottle. A medium golden color with a little haze The aroma and flavor is malty and sweet with a light fruit and citrus touch.

Rather slight hoppy, citrus aroma, some pine and malt sweetness. Light golden amber color, with an uneven, slight but creamy head and respectable lacing. Flavor is decently balanced, having a fresh, flowery, fruity hoppiness and sweet, honey-caramel maltiness. Gently spicy, citrusy and clean finish. Palate is lightly creamy, body is light-medium. Makes for some easy drinkin'. So far the best of the Wolaver's line in my opinion, though that might not be saying much.

Quite good, quite hoppy. A fine APA, in a crowded field of fine APAs. The lace on this bad boy will have to be sandblasted off my glass. Yummy stuff.

Its got the special kick that makes pale ales great to drink. The hops and malts are great with a piney, grassy bitterness. fully mouthful with a slightly oily feel.

Pours a golden amber with a thin white head. Aroma is caramel malt with a slight fruity hoppiness. Taste is smooth caramel malt and balance with slightly bitter hops. Finishes nice. A nice easy drinking pale.

My favorite beer by this fine brewery. Very hoppy and snappy with a great bite in the finish. They should maybe call this IPA.
