12 oz bottle from Prestige Liquor, dated… oh, my: Best by 12/26/16. So that's why a single was 49¢. Let's just try to keep this in perspective. This pours pretty regularly, a slightly hazy brassy color under a foamy head. Smell is mostly hop bitterness. Any impressions from fresh northwestern hops would have dissipated, but what's left behind is still pretty hoppy. Taste is stuck on basic hop bitterness. The malt shows a very faint note of phenol, so that's what's been most affected by a long sit on the shelf. Still, a good version of an APA. Just need to get a chance at one that's fresher.

On tap at Belmont Station, Portland, Oregon. Pours a clear dark amber colour and a small light beige head. Aroma of herbs, caramel, flowers, tropical fruits and some diacetyl. Flavour of grapefruit, pine, grass, sweet biscuits and some diacetyl. Dry ending. Has a slick mouthfeel, medium body and a medium bitterness. A well hopped APA. Too bad with the diacetyl that disturbs my experience.

16 oz. pint at Whole Foods Clybourn, Chicago. Almost clear in color gold. Slightly sweet, mild floral / pine bitterness. Weak citrus. This is well made but standard issue. A classic West Coast influenced APA.

Pretty good pale ale, more malt-forward than expected, a moderate base of caramel and toasted bread providing ample padding for the crisp, woody hops. Notes of pine and earth mix with pencil shavings, slight lemon, and a hint of dankness. Mild finish leaves something to be desired. Pours a healthy orange-gold with a thin white head and decent lacing. Underwhelming nose gives off more bread and caramel than hop. Good brisk, perky texture. Not a bad pint, but nothing to write home about.

Tap at Sidedoor. Classic US IPA aroma. Creamy, thin off-white head on top of an amber-tan body. A touch soapy, earthy. The English yeast and caramel tastes are quite antiquated, has that boring sub par brewpub feel. Definitely bland for a fresh hop beer. Rather unimpressive.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-bronze color with lots of tiny floaters and a large creamy-soapy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faint but had a bitter piney note. The flavor was sweet and malty with notes of caramel, sugar, pine and grapefruit. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied. Pleasant.

Bottle from Ales & Lagers in KL at home in HK. Clear iron-amber pour. Minimal white head with some dotting. Aroma is pine resin and floral hops - not too strong but enticing. Taste is relatively light, and quite malty for a hop-driven APA. Background of crisp slightly floral bitter hops, with a good bite on the finish. Nice but wouldn't get again I don't think.
