Bottle. Fruity floral hops and light biscuit aroma. Hazy honey gold with a huge off-white head. Lightly sweet malt and piney herbal hops flavor... a little harsh. Light body, moderate carbonation.

Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is an ok hoppyness with little else. Flavor is again a minor hop. Nothing over the top but its there. Finish is clean and leaves little or no aftertaste. Definitely a pale ale and not an IPA as it says on the bottle.

From notes. A standout apa. Loads of hops and a lot of roasted malt. I’ll drink this one again.

Bottle on Amtrak Train 27 - The Empire Builder ( from Binny’s South Loop) - 04/11/12. Hazy orange/amber with a thin bubbly white head that soon forms a pond and moves to the edges. Nose of caramel malt, hops, a hint of pine, citrus note. Taste follows, a little orange and a touch of bitter grapefruit. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter finish. Pretty boring.

12 oz. bottle, $1.50 loose at Woodman’s. Gave this a good pour to make it kick out some hops, and got a standard orange pale ale color, with a few what I hope are hop particles floating around. Foam is properly rocky at first, but settles to the standard fizzy head with no lace. Hop smell is not very strong, but some sweet malt nose is noted. Major component in taste is the malt: sweetness is up a bit with caramel notes. But hops are simply barely there. Sipping bring some alcohol to the nose, but there’s also a bit of a watery mouthfeel. While I’ve found this brand is barely standard, I’d have hoped they’d try to step up their game with a hoppy style that would draw in beer geeks. But it’s not to be.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-caramel color with a small beige head that faded quickly. The aroma was faint vague fruity hops with notes of citrus and butterscotch underneath. The flavor was dryish and bitter with moderate grapefruit and lemon and a tangy malt undertone. The finish was medium length bitter, fruity and a bit harsh. Medium body. Ok.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange-tan color. Thin, patchy...but steady head. Some odd bitter caramel hop aroma..extract? Quite resiny. Watery homebrew like mouthfeel, with some orange-citrus hop character. The malt backbone is sugary and bland. Pretty sub-par stuff, though it does manage to capture the APA taste. OK, and sessionable, but lacks any depth.

12 oz bottle with a twist off cap. Smell is dully hoppy and citrus, not sharp and floral. I was expecting some variation of a wheat beer for some reason but no. Pour is like a pale lager with a thin creamy head that is unmeasurable in thickness. Yes, quite hoppy, nearing mild ipa status but never quite gets there. Bitter medicinal finish is almost rude but not really. Nearly objectional to a lager lover on the palate. Eh. Finish is medium hoppy and lingers for a significant amount of time.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange with a dense finger or so of foam on top. Aromas are a pointless mix of malty grain and caramel. Not much in terms of hops in the nose... hmm... Flavor is an awful mix of grain (wheat-like), corn and tea like hops. Blech!
