Bottled. Pale yellow-orange, some tiny yeast particles floating, small creamy white head. Bready, fruity aroma, not very strong. Quite standard APA - bready malty, a bit fruity. This is quite solid - good for session, but not much else.

Hazy deep yellow color that supports a tall, thick, white head. Lightly malty aroma. Thin body with a flavor that has an orange aftertaste. Kinda wierd. Not the best Pale Ale out there, but some will like this I guess.

Goldenish amber in color, decent head. Smells wonderfully fruitful and florally. taste going in is nice, sweet and fresh, but finishes with a really funky tangy funk, which makes this beer not quite as good. After the first voyage down the pipes, however, the beer isn’t bad... but that first swallow tastes grungy.

Hazy golden in colour with a decently dense white head. Aroma of hops and citrus along with corn. Taste of malt and corn along with a tiny bit of hops. Not a great APA, with more odd flavours more than bright hops! Don't worry about trying this unless you've had all your local APA's and really enjoy trying other examples of the style. I bought this 12 ounce bottle from Total Beverage in Thornton (Denver), Colorado.
