Bottle thanks to fata2683: Poured a golden with a fluff off white head. Aroma is strong on pine and citrus hops with a fruitiness. Taste is mild hops with nice malts and fresh grain. The flavor is a little let down after such a bold nose, but seems very good overall.

Bottle via a trade. Pours with a murky/muddy orange-brown hued body with a lasting bright white head that leaves some lace. Aromas are of iced tea, crystal malt, medium citrus, orange, light pine, some fruity esters. Very sweet smelling with some light bready notes. Flavors are quite sweet, bready, caramel, mild butterscotch (diacetyl), citrus and ice tea. Sweet. Super lively carbonation. Not great.

bottle pours light yellow with a lasting medium white head. Aroma is big with notes of cascade hops, lots of juicy citrus. Flavor is pretty malt forward which was a surprise given the nose I got. Lots of sweet grass and cracker notes with a thin herbal hop finish.

12oz bottle. Gusher, smells infected...oddly sour. Takes a few minutes just to get it into the glass. Dry and earthy, with some gingery grapefruit tones. Grapefruit shows itself more and more in the taste and aroma, really not unlike pink grapefruit juice at times. Were this to be a grapefruit beer, I’d say they nailed it, a standard APA this is not. Easy drinking, sort of grows on you. Interesting if they consistently make it this way, otherwise an interesting infection.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Malty aroma. Malt and light darker malt flavor with a hint of hops. Medium bodied. Malt and light darker malts linger with light grapefruit.

tap at the brewpub - Pours amber with a sizable, white head. It smells of citrus accented hops and some light malt. The flavor has caramel malt and is moderately bitter with a touch of citrus. The balance is pretty good. Average pale ale.

Clear, light copper pour. Off-white head. Moderate aroma of citrus, pine and dough. Flavor is a balance of bitter and sweet, with hints of grapefruit and caramel. Thin body. Fairly short finish. Moderate carbonation. Nice enough, but lacked the bitter zip and fuller body of many APAs.

12oz bottle from cbkschubert. Thanks! Nose of citrus, caramel, and hops; Slighty hazy amber with a small beige head; flavor of nice citrusy hop bitterness with a twist of caramel malt. Nice pale ale!
