Has an almost chocolate malt yeasty aroma when you pop the lid. Slightly darker than the typical pale yellow american beer, just a little more orange. Mild pale ale annoying hop refined impressions. A little processed on the palate. Cerrtainly more offensive than most lagers. Could use a little more carbonation. Reminds me a bit of Big City Ice and City Lager. Has that same background flavor overtaking the palate. Malty alky presence is almost in your face. Not too civilized. Short length bitter hop malt back of throat taste hangs for a while. Like many annoying pale ales.

Light copper pour with small, off-white head that doesn’t stick around. The aroma is caramel and sweet with just a hint of citrus. The flavor is all about sweet. Very little bitterness at the end. Creamy mouthfeel and little to moderate carbonation. This was way too sweet for an APA.

This is the first beer that I have tried from this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel color with a large yellow-tan head. The aroma is very sweet with a moderate grapefruit and nut element. The flavor is very sweet - very sugary.There is a hop presence but it is very mushy. No crisp or distinct hop flavors come through. There is a lingering sugary sweetness.

I was surprised by the quality of this beer. Gold. Heavy palate, has a syrup quality. Flavors are sweet with hops.

Not half-bad. Pours orange, with slight hops aroma and a balanced flavor of malts and hops. Pleasant and inoffensive.
