Dark gold colour. Hoppy, pine aroma. Fruity sweetness, toasted malts and a moderately bitter finish.

Bottle - Bread, malt and some light hops. Some fruity peach notes as well. Clear light amber with a surprising nice thick head. Same light fruit, bread and a nice refreshing hop bitterness. A great sessionable beer with some nice flavor.

On tap. Pours an amber orange with light-medium head. Aromas of malts and mellow citrus hops. Smooth. Malty with both pine and citrus hop flavors, but not over the top and quite enjoyable.

Keg at Craft Beer Market, Calgary. It pours lightly hazy orange-amber, with a medium white head. The nose is fresh pine, some underlying caramel and some citrus rind. The taste is pine, leaf, light resin, straw, biscuit, caramel, toasted malt, grapefruit and lemon pith, with a dry, lightly citric finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A smooth and easy-going APA.

Smells fruity sweet and of caramel malt. Pours without much head, a clear amber colour. Taste has a mild hoppy bitterness and a little sourness at the end. Decent, but not amazing. Thanks to Adrian!

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best by 9/5/2012. Pours hazy golden orange color with a very nice 2 finger dense off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Some nice soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, pine, herbal, floral, caramel, pineapple, biscuit, and light toast. Pretty nice and pleasant aromas with good balance; but they are a bit muted. Taste of orange, grapefruit, biscuit, pine, caramel, toast, nuttiness, floral, and herbal spiciness. Good amount of bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pine, biscuit, caramel, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Great hop flavor balance with malts; and a very nice robust amount of flavor for a 5% beer. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish as expected. Overall this is an excellent pale ale. Great amount of flavor; with nice hop and malt balance. Extremely drinkable and smooth. My glass was gone a bit too fast. Really enjoyed this.

35,5 cl bottle @ hotel room, Portland
Aroma is slightly sweet with bready malt and moderate hops. Flavour is hoppy with gooseberry bush and some bready malt. Decent.
