Backlog February 2009. Slightly unclear orange yellow body under a dense, fading white head. Nice hoppy aroma of citric fruits, grapefruit, grass and pine. Taste is average malty with a fine fruity bitterness and bitter aftertaste. Refreshing, easy to drink classic American pale ale.

Hoppy aroma of light malt, caramel, citrus, light tropical fruits. Flavour is hoppy and fruity with a medium bitter aftertaste. A very straightforward but tasty APA.

Can to cup. Pours a copper orange with moderate white head that retains well and has creamy aspects. Aroma is fruity and even slight bubblegum. A sweet graininess invades the background. Taste follows aroma with the malt more pronounced. Easy drinking and enjoyable.

Can shared. Pours clear golden with a fair frothy white head, fair lacing, medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, bitter-sweet finish. Floral aromas, citrus, caramel, good balance between hops and malty sweetness, refreshing and easy going.
