Morning Glory is a well-hopped American pale ale. This APA has an amber color and fruity hints that veer towards mango and peach, also thanks to the American hops used. Morning Glory has a medium body and a clear and persistent foam. It is a balanced beer, with a good balance between sweet and bitter. It is an American pale ale with an exceptional profile, good drinkability and structure.

Bottle at home. Ugly pale copper coloration white foamy head. Nose is floral and pine. Tastes of pine needles, orange pulp, perfume, some Italian salad dressing. Thin watery and fizzy palate. Lingering botanical flavors. Odd one to me.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Not overly expressive, citrusy and minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, a touch of lime, rather unspecific fruitiness overall. Taste is minimally bitter, citrusy hoppy, hints of lime and lemon, quite neutral pale malty background. Unspectacular.

11.2 oz bottle from Sparrow - Downtown, 9/11/15.
This one has a murky orange colored pour with a fizzy head that dissipates quickly and leaves just a small ring of off-white head in a couple of seconds. There's some light lacing as well. Orange juice aroma. Spice and pine notes as well, with a bit of pale malt. The pine comes through more in the flavor, as it tastes mostly bitter with a nice fruity and lightly malty sweetness to round it out. Fairly fizzy on the mouth, as the quick dissipating head would have lead you to believe. It remains rather drinkable despite the fizziness, with a lighter body, and a clean, somewhat dry close. Very orange juice-like overall for me, right down to the heartburn that I'll probably get from this one later, but hey, that's just one of the sacrifices we have to make for the beverage we love (or whatever cliche makes sense).

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, malt, and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Light haze on this darkish amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and smooth with fine carbonation. Mild milky cream sweetness. Hops are semi sweet pine with nice peach and lesser tropical fruits. Modest citric peel bitterness develops as does a pinch of hop spice. Smooth semi dry finish. Hangs together pretty well, very drinkable.

On tap at Mother Kellys. Hazy amber lasting white head. Not entirely sold on the aroma. The rest is a decent apa. Decent carbonation. A touch of a tropical fruit I am not keen on. Ok .
