Can. Chocolate aroma with notes of roasted malt, marshmallow and vanilla. Pours deep brown with a half a finger of mocha brown head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with chocolate and vanilla flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes smooth with roasted malt and marshmallow flavors. Very nice.

On tap at HopCat Livonia. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Lots of fresh citrus in the aroma (grapefruit and orange), pine, tropical hops. Flavor is also heavy on citrus, herbal, perfumy, tropical, and pine... lots a great hop flavors in here. Particularly great given the lower alcohol content. Excellent job here.

Can. Apricot aroma with notes of pineapple, peach, orange, grapefruit, grassy hops and pine resin. Pours clear golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and some lacing. Starts with juicy apricot, peach, grassy hops and orange citrus flavors. Finishes dry but quite smooth with pineapple, grapefruit and pine resiny hop flavors. Quite nice.

Bottle at home. Aroma is lime, hay and grainy malt. Flavour is light bitter. Body is light, rather high carbonation. Not much of a fan of this one, though it’s certainly drinkable.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is fruity hops with tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, light pale malt, bit oily hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a long bitter finish. Body is medium. Nicely bitter and fruity hoppy, a very fine specimen of APA.
