A colorful deep Ruby Amber appearance. Aromas of Pine and Grapefruit overlay a malt background. On the palate full bodied malty flavors with a tight and bitter finish.

Draught at the brewpub on July 14, 2013. As part of a tasting paddle.Stated to have 35 IBU, served as "American Style".Clear copper color, tan head. Malty, sweet, crisp, bitter, hoppy, red berries, hints of grapefruit and other sweeter citrus fruits taste. Fairly smooth mouthfeel, medium to medium high bitterness with a slight mineral finish. Sweet, malty, fresh, hoppy scent.

330ml bottle. Pours an orangey amber colour, foamy off-white head and aroma of malt caramel, mango, pineapple, orange hop resin. Taste is malt caramel, tropical fruits, grapefruit citrus & woody pine resin bitterness with a biscuity note. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite OK.

(bottle) Clear amber copper with no head. Sweet fruity aroma with hints of perfume and caramel. Medium body, light carbonation. Flavour has nice sweetly fruity start with a satisfyingly bitter finish. Nice beer, but no surprises.

Bottle. Pale amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of pine, citrus and light caramel. Light sweetness with caramel and a little biscuit, bitterness is very solid and takes over quickly. Piney bitter finish. Not much going on under the hops and they’re a bit harsh.

Pours amber with a large, lasting head.Nose shows lots of sweet, clean malt and floral fruity hops.A fair whack of hops shows in the taste as well, with bold piney, resinous notes and hints of tropical fruit amongst the sweet malt. Finishes strongly with a audacious, slightly metallic bitterness.Too much carbonation creates an overly dry finish.

From a 330ml bottle on 12/5/2010. This is a nice, rather subtle APA. Has a fruity, grassy aroma. In the mouth, it’s malty and sweetish, with dried fruit notes (perhaps raisins), and has a satisfying hoppy finish. Not a big beer for its style, but nicely balanced none the less. Rating 3.6
Re-rate on 8/9/2012. I was perhaps just a bit generous before, but stll quite a good pale.
