Some place in Philadelphia: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is straw, pine, pepper. Taste is fairly bitter. Piny and peppery. Finish is not great.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a pale burnt yellow almost bronze color with a finger and a halfs worth of white foamy head that concaved nicely to leave some messy foamy clingy lace.
The aroma had some sweet lemon pulp, sweet pine, bready malts with a touch of floral sweet hop quality at the end.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side enveloping the piney hops and bready malts. Aftertaste was the sweet along with the bitter and having a little bit of toast coming inside. Finishes with a little bit of lemon hop burn which I wasnt entirely fond of.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, for the most part, its a decent APA but the finish I didnt care for.

Draft at the Tap Room. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was a standard pale ale with a notable hoppy pine finish to it. Flavor was about the same. Drinkable.

Looks a little dirty yellow on tap @ madmex. Weird leathery appeal to it. Nice lacing. Good co2. Seems to be rather fresh although it leaves a sharper astringent bite at the finish.
Refreshing. Perfect for a day like today.

12 ounce bottle. Bright honey gold color. Small creamy white head. Mild grainy malt nose with a hint of mustard seeds.. Slight herbal hops as well. Zesty toasted malt flavor balanced by an acidic hop character. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finish is dry and lingering.

My kind of APA. +++Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright amber color with a medium sized foamy orange-white head that left some lacing. The aroma was moderately strong sweet pineapple and grapefruit. The flavor was sweet and tangy caramel with sugar and moderate notes of pineapple, grapefruit and a hint of lemon. The finish was long with sugar, caramel and pineapple lingering. Fairly full bodied. Very drinkable.
