10 week old can into a tulip. A: Deep orange colored finely hazed pour with a tall yellow/beige frothy head. Great retention and lace. S: Stale brown bread scent and nothing else T: Resinous pine and that familiar bitter orange rind flavor that I associate with some ambers. Not bad but not what I had in mind. More of a malt bomb. M: Light to medium heft and average carbonation with a very slight resin on the finish. O: Again, not bad at all but a slight disappointment as I get no citrus, let alone a truckload. Not a repeat purchase.

Sample at the Biltmore Village taproom. The beer pours a hazy copper color with a medium off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, herbal hops and malt. Light body with flavors of mild piney hops, fruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 1/1/15
Aroma: This one has a light hop aroma, it is fairly subtle, but decent and clean
Appearance: It pours a clear gold color, with a small head and spotty white lace
Flavor: It has a light sweetness, clean hop flavors, and a fairly bitter finish
Palate: It is fairly light bodied and easy drinking, with a soft carbonation on the mouth
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid, enjoyable APA. The nose is a little dull, but still solid, the hops come out more in the flavor.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice light grass with a backbone of grains. Flavor is similar with a light grassy hoppiness and a grain backbone.

Served on draft at Mellow Mushroom Hickory, NC on 4/7/11. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium creamy white head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of herbal, spicy hops. The taste is bitter citrus and herbal hops and pale malts. Lingering bitterness. Medium bodied.
