This rich, Northwest-style Pale Ale is a rare feat of balance: unfiltered, dry-hopped to 40 IBUs, and deliciously seasonable. Groove on this two-time Great American Beer Festival® Gold Medal winner (2001 and 2002 Bitter Category). It really smooths out the bumps.

Bottle: Pours a dull copper color with a thick finger of creamy beige head. Retention is decent and there is plenty of sheet lacing. Nose is bright with piney sweetness, as well as citrus and caramel. Picking up a faint bready malt as it warms. Taste is tamer than the nose would suggest; subdued hops, both citrus and pine. A little herbal and what I tend to describe as dirty florals. The bready malt comes forth and really moderates any hoppiness. More of the citrus notes emerge as the glass warms, which is a plus. Pretty modest APA overall.

12oz botle thanks to Jake65. Pours a lightly hazy orange with some lacing, creamy white head. Nose has orange, malt, honey, lightly floral, a little soap. Flavor is soapier, a little cheesy, orange, malt, some dough. Lightly bitter finish. Decent enough.

.5L draft pour at the Squatters pub in the Salt Lake City airport. Pour is hazed darker golden with a nice white head. Aroma is nice grapefruit and pineapple citrus, along with some toasty malt. Taste is the hops up front, toasted malt in the middle that turns slightly waterty towards the finish. Palate is unfiltered but thin. Clean, easy drinking just a touch on the thin side initially. As the beer warmed, it picked up a bunch on the dank resin, and also quite a bit on the body. Really evolved and picked up points as it warmed. Fresh tasty beer, perfect for my 30 minute layover.

On tap at the Hockey Game
Appearance: Pours a medium amber with a nice white head and some lacing
Aroma: Citrus, pine and sweet malts
Taste: Citrus, pine, caramel and malts
I really like this beer, it is well balanced. It tastes better out of the tap, but is still very good bottled.

Bottle. Hazy amber pour with a thin, off-white head. Somewhat faint aroma of citrus, caramel, grass and lemon. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderate bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Lots of potential in this beer, but it’s too thin and watery to deliver as much flavor as an American Pale Ale usually delivers. It does get points for being an OK session beer at 4%.

Bottle at the Freakin’ Frog, Las Vegas
Amber color. Moderate hoppy aroma. It’s reasonably hoppy, but the body weakness is too evident; such a beer would benefit from a different hop, fruity for example. Too simple.
