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.

Draught @ Hoppy Days. Slightly unclear yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma is hoppy and fruity. Taste malts, hops, tropical fruits, fruity bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Quite nice.

Thank you daniele for this! Large and important-looking bottle. Pours a bit hazy amber, nice head with thin but active carbonation, staying long. Has a nice floral hop aroma, I feel some nice bitter tones, together with some malt sweetness underneath. Taste is exactly how I imagine a good APA to feel - there is nice hop bitterness, balanced with velvety mouthfeel and decent body. Hop bitterness lingers longer in the aftertaste. Very enjoyable, thumbs up!

Draft @ Green River, Bologna. Dorée, col blanc moyen. Arôme tire sur un bouquet agréable au niveau des houblons qui donnent de belles effluves tropicales et agrumes. Impression de dry-hop surtout en rétro-nasal. Palais est houblonné modéré, fruité et également tropical. Notre rappelant le Citra et pamplemousse avec un petit clin d’œil au fruit de la passion. Le profil grains reste un peu trop dominant surtout en fin de bouche. Amertume y est d’ailleurs un peu noble et au fini une certaine épaisseur.

On tap in Rome. Light amber color, fluffy white head, hoppy nose. Taste simple and grainy, moderately malty, slightly citrusy, nice wrapping hops. Light bodied, proper carbonation, good, refreshing and easy to go.

05/04/2013 On tap @ Spring Beer Festival 2013. Dorata paglierino, appena torbida, schiuma bianca crespa, discreta, moderatamente persistente. Al naso malto e luppolo si sposano abbastanza bene, sentori di lieviti, note fruttate. In bocca ha una discreta beva, sembra un po’ sottotono, non pulitissima, delude un po’ le attese. Corpo leggero, carbonazione abbondante. Mi aspettavo di più.

Bottle at La Cave à Bulles, Paris, via Birratrovo, Como
Hazy light amber color with medium sized creamy head. Nice fruity hop aroma, delicate and harmonious (7.5/10). The mouthfeel is very dry; there is some malt bit the accent is on the hops, although now more bitter than aromatic, still providing a good amount of soft resins and bitter orange fruitiness; piquant. In the final there is a more evident citrus note.
Good, clean and well brewed.
