3.6 From old tasting notes. Hazy yellow gold color. Huge rocky white head. Fruity malt aroma with a hint of yeastiness. Tasty fruity malt flavor hints at lemon and grapefruit. Plenty of hops come through in middle and finish soft and complex aftertaste. Tasty.
3.1 Modest and subtle, Has a nice elegance but perhaps a bit too ’nice’ and just strays into blandness? I can see the grapefruit bitterness but it is mild (but suits the style). A little soft spice late. Nice but unremarkable in the extreme.
3.5 well carbonated, light-med bodied pale ale. taste is dominated by bitterly hops. dry finish. drinkable.
3.4 Bottle. Hazy golden, moderate head. Weak retention. Aroma: pine, mango, passion fruit, honey. Medium body. Sweetish solid malts, citrus & piny hops form the flavour. Medium bitterness. It all sounds good yet there are some hollow points while tasting. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone
3.4 On tap at bitter Creek boise. Pours out a crisp golden topped with a white head. Nose is classic north west ipa pine hops with a touch of citrus and a malty sweetness. Taste is more of the pine and bread malt.

2.9 Bottle. Golden with white head. Light fruity hoppy and medium malty. Aroma of citrus, pine and caramel. The flavours starts sweet but finish bitter. The body is light and the texture is thin.
3.1 Bottle. Clear, orange, minimal head, white foam, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, oily feel, soft carbonation, & abrupt finish.
3.3 Very zesty aroma, with quite a lot of yeast character for an apa. The flavour is a bit of a mix, some fresh hop, some malt , not quite there.
2.7 At Deen Supermark Zaandam Netherlands. 12 FL OZ. Spicy hops. Finish could have a bit more malt to balance out the bitter grapefruit

3.8 Отличный АПА. Мне очень понравился, особенно своей неординарностью и черникой во вкусе.

3.0 Decent pale ale. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either. Moiderate hop flavors.
0.5 - gelbliche Farbe mit leichter, schnell zerfallender Schaumbildung - irgendein seltsamer seifig-muffiger Geruch kommt aus dem Glas - geschmacklich wird es dann nicht besser, im Gegenteil jetzt kommt noch eine leicht metallische Beigabe - den Abgang „krönt“ dann eine extrem säuerliche Herbe Fazit: Ein Bier welches die Welt nicht braucht
3.1 Pours a cloudy orange with a respectable head. Nose of hop-soaked fruits and cardboard. Good, fruity hoppy taste with a light but creamy mouthfeel. Moderately bitter.
3.2 Cerveja muito suave e com excelente paladar. Deixa à desejar no aroma. Em geral vale a pena
3.2 355 ml bottle. Pours dark golden with a white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy (citrus). Medium body with lively carbonation. Foam has a surprising tastes of bananas. The flavor is lightly sweet and acidic with a bitterness coming in to the ending. Moderately malty taste (caramel) with some fruity acids (pear) and honey. A little to much carbonation and to persistent bitterness.
3.3 Thnx to Jochem. Pours rather clear blonde, small white head. Smell is malty , very American. Taste is crispy malts , bit sweet, mild cornflakes taste. Very typical US, with a cliniczl-like cleanness to it.
3.2 Bottle. Golden color. Aroma hops: floral, spice, fruit, hops. Taste: light malty sweetness, a little honey, fruit and smooth hop bitterness.
3.3 Ambergeel, volle witte schuimkraag die blijft. Licht troebel. Aromas Citrus/Limoen/Grapefruit, licht moutig, caramel en wat grassig. Smaak: Biscuit moutig droog, licht fruitig (grapefruit/limoen) en een bittere redelijk lange afdronk. De Cascade en Columbus hoppen doen hun werk. Body is medium, niet veel koolzuur. Drink zeer makkelijk weg. Makkelijk biertje.
3.5 Kolor z?oty, nieznacznie m?tny. Piana w kolorze lekko ?ó?tawym, drobno p?cherzykowa, sporych rozmiarów, niestety nie trwa?a. Aromat: s?odowo?? i s?odkie nuty owocowe, aromat jest bardzo przyjemny nie jest przes?odzony. Smak: wyra?na rze?ko??, s?odkie i nieco kwa?ne owoce. Goryczka delikatna, lekko sucha, tylko na finiszu. Wysycenie ?rednie w kierunku do wysokiego.

3.3 Bottle. Hazy amber with foamy white head. Light aroma of malts. Balanced tastw of sweet malts and bitter hops with citrus notes.
3.0 Blonde vaguement ambrée, légèrement trouble, très peu de mousse. Nez citron, caramel, brioche. Bouche pamplemousse et citron, une pointe de biscuit caramel. Bonne amertume, faible carbo, longueur un peu courte. Se boit bien mais pas formidable.
3.2 @ Commons Ale House, Santa Monica, 16-3-13: rätt frisk och gräsig. Lätt men smakrik. Helt ok.
