Dry Hopped with a fat stash of Cascade hops. Our most popular brew! A tasty West Coast style Extra Pale Ale accentuated with a stimulating hop character. First conceived in our bat cave on 4/20, this kind of beer keeps the wheels on the bus going round and round!

Bottled. Golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, citrusy, some slight biscuity malts. Flavour is fruity, floral, citrusy, some nectar, biscuit malts and also quite crisp caramelly sweetness to it. Finishes quite nicely malty with a nice bitter kick to it.

Can from Beer Republic Webshop Breda Netherlands, had this at home Thursday 1st December 2022 with Loz and Isobel, listening to HiFi Sean - Excursions preparing and cooking Jerk Chicken with Coconut Salsa and Coffee and Spiced Koftas with Pomegranate and Dill Rice. Pours gold in colour with a white head. Light citrus flavour, the hoppiness is there but subtle, light bitterness, a touch of crispness. Fine but lacks character.

Heftiges Gushing, leicht trüb, in der Nase leichte Fruchtigkeit. Im Trunk dezent fruchtig, aber schön Pinien, sehr schön, mag ich. Schön ausgewogen, gefällt mir gut.

Rated a 15 pack of this in another life. Pint @PF Chang's only because the Terrapin tap lounge is a little bitch & closed way early. Nose is pith & hay, airy & bubbling with too much co2. Sticky, uneven lace. Frothy, proper gold, just what I want. Softly bitter, lingering pine with a soft orange pith, maybe a little pepper. Solidly dry, moderate abv, super carbed, crushing a stack of these with some fried food is definitely possible. In the battle of the 15-packs, it's better than All Day IPA.

Bottle. Looks good, rich golden color, clear, fluffy white head. Aroma: sweet tones of nectar and honey, orange and other fruits, candies and caramel. Taste: tangerine and orange with zest, a little candied fruit, pine needles, pleasant bitterness, a little sweetness, not bad.

Best by August 22nd 2022.

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper.

Pours a fairly clear pale gold, good puffy head of foam, lacing is ok.

Smells of citrus hops, toasted malt, an overall balanced nose. Can conditioned, says it on the can. Believable.

Nice balance between the citrus hops and toasted malt. Some sweet notes for sure, very much hoppy notes and a dryness that usually accompanies a beer that calls itself Extra Pale Ale. Think Sierra Nevada Torpedo.

Good mouthfeel, very good drinkability.

Very slightly unfiltered, so a mild haze, golden colour with a big frothy lightly off-white head, good retention and small foamy lacing spots. Decent hoppy aromas of light grass and cereal malts in the background. The mouthfeel has a nice dryish finish. Some grassiness lingers with hints of mint and spiciness. Not a bad, easy-drinking APA that is a notch above average.

16 oz. can from Wawa. Drank straight from the can at Orlando Airport. Floral hops aroma. Floral hops and bitter flavor with a dry finish. More like an IPA verses an APA. Not my style. Tick.
