This delightful brew is a medium-bodied pale ale that is balanced to perfection. It has a fresh hop aroma and a mild sweetness that finishes crisp and clean. This pale ale is brewed in the American style using two Northwest hop varieties, Centennial and Columbus. The fresh hop flavor is balanced with 2-row Pale and Crystal malts

Another Full Sail beer I got in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!

It pours from 12oz bottle a clear gold with a nice 1 finger head of foam.

The smell is hoppy but not overly so. Just about right for the style.

The taste right off the bat is a nice balance between some good bitter(grassy) hoppiness and malty sweetness. Yum. Very quaffable as well. Go figure.

A few more sips in and I notice the hop character does have some citrus and it works really well along side the grass and both work really well with the malt. Dang, this is a tasty brew and very drinkable. It has a medium mouthfeel and carbonation and it finishes both slightly sweet and slightly bitter...again with the balance!

I really liked this APA and I think it's one of the better examples of the style that I've tried. I recommend it.

Orange golden colour with a fine white head. Nice lacing. Floral hoppy nose. Medium malty base in the flavour, with lots of hoppy citrus notes. Ok body and a pleasant carbonation. A fine and tasty brew.

This pale ale poured a crystal clear amber colour with a bright white, creamy head. To the ose there are scents of pineapple, orange and lemon citrus hops, cooked veggies and maybe light cinnamon? First sip was smooth almost to watery with flavours of medium sweet malt and a light hop flavour, slightly citric. Finish is medium bitter with hopp bitterness lingering.

12 oz bottle from Table and Vine, West Springfield, MA. Used a lager glass. Nice ½ thick foamy white head sitting on light amber liquid. Light thin lace. Nice aroma of citrus hops and sweet malt. Palate is a blend of sweet malt, and has a lightly bitter, clean finish. Lots of citrus hop notes. The body is a bit thin however, if you’re looking for an easy to drink APA, this is decent.

Bottle @ brothers house on Bainbridge. Golden orange appearance with a white head. Sweet pale malty, mild hoppy nose. A touch fruity, sweet pale malty, mild hoppy flavor with a pretty crisp finish. A little too sweet.
