Completely muddled. Terrible structure problems, as alcohol, green apples and poorly extracted malts compete for attention. And where are the hops? Finishes like a durian smells.

Fruity aroma, honey-colored. This was a little too sweet for my taste but it had a nice smoothness.

Mahogany colour; aroma of smoke, cascades, hint of iron; thin body - a little acidic even; metallic, mellowed malts (a little toasted caramel, whole grain bread), cascades...what precisely is the brewer trying to get at here?

Dark amber; aroma of candied fruits, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, pears; sweet palate shows more candy, peaches, slight woody notes, Belgian specialty malts (like biscuit and maybe a tiny bit of Special B - anyone else get this or I am just wishing?)...anyway back to the point. This is a sweet, soft (creamy even), complex beer that shows more 'steam' characteristics than Anchor does.

Amber color - nice looking. Total grapefruity hop aroma. Flavor is hoppy and citric. A bit thin on the malt and mouthfeel; ballpark body for an APA - but still if it were a little heavier I would like it more.
