12 oz bottle. Pours amber with fine particles and a white head. Sweet honey and biscuit aroma, maybe a little herbal aroma. Flavor is stale hoppiness, grassy and herbal, with honey and stale biscuit. Despite the nice bears on the label, this just isn’t very good. Bottling code indicates it was bottled February 2013, so it’s not all that old.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. This beer’s 150th rating. Pours a hazy amber color with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of caramel malts, floral hops and some nutty notes. The taste is herbal, floral hops, stone fruits, toffeeish malts. Medium bodied, decent balance. Decent beer.

Bottle. Light barley malt, orange peel, and gunpowder (there’s a descriptor I’ve never used before) aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Sweet caramel and mildly bitter orange peel/burnt carbon flavor. Got to say it’s unique and pretty good to boot.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 2/15/2013. Pours moderately cloudy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with plenty of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of orange zest, grapefruit, peach, lemon zest, floral, light pine, caramel, biscuit, and light nuttiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of hop and malt notes. Taste of orange zest, grapefruit, pine, lemon zest, floral, caramel, biscuit, light nuttiness, and floral earthiness. Moderate pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pine, floral, caramel, biscuit, and floral earthiness on the finish for a bit. Very nice complexity of hop and malt flavor; with a great hop/malt flavor balance; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly creamy, crisp, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice pale ale. Nice hop/malt balance and complexity; very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Light caramel malt aroma. Clear copper with a large off-white head, nice lacing. Biscuit, caramel malt, and grassy hops flavor. Medium body, soft carbonation.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a big white head. Aroma is fresh hops. Flavor is a bit in the watery dept. but there are some grassy hops in there to make this one decent. Overall this is just a slightly above par APA as it is to watery and the ingrediants don’t really stand out.

Bottled. Light brown pour under a thick bumpy head. Has a pleasing APA smell, malty and a tad hoppy, with no off smells in this 4+ month old bottle. Dandy hoppy taste, with pine and pineapple at work on top of a toasty malt base. A nice peppery burn going down sums up to make this a fine drinking experience. I may be over-rating this beer, but frankly I can’t see why not.

Pours a lightly hazy golden orange color with a medium thin white head. Thin lacing. The aroma is floral hops and citrus. Medium body with a nicely bitter character throughout. Hops, citrus and pine are all evident. It contains just a touch of sourness toward the end but nothing too bad. The finish is nicely hopped with a pinch of malt. Overall this is a solid APA.
