500 mL poured in to a pint glass

A: This beer pours with a hazy golden body, and a one finger of sudsy white head. Head recedes quickly leaving spider webbed lacing on the glass.

S: Nose is mango and pineapple fruitiness, mingled with a burst of piney, earthy hops, and a hint of biscuit.

T: Taste is big piney, earthy notes punctuate the forefront of this beer. These big pine notes hang around for a while, mingling in to a nice light caramel malt sweetness in the middle. Finish is a massive dose of grapefruit mingled with lighter mango and tangerine flavoring.

M: Medium body, medium to higher carbonation, dry finish with a prickling of carbonation at the end.

O: Goes does easy, very tasty, not too filling, mild kick, nice representation of style. Perhaps a bit hoppier than typical APA's, though works really well for this beer.

Recently acquired in a BIF from Cuzco. 500ml bottle served in a Hill Farmstead win glass. Bottled 4/16/13.

A: Pours a semi hazy golden yellow color with some orange highlights. A thick and bubbly head forms on the pour. The retention is off the charts (similar to my bottle lunch). It creates a crater filled pillow of head and thick, sticky lace. Just a beautiful looking beer.

S: Sweet cracker malts mixed with some stone fruit and sweet grass. Lightly floral as well.

T: Lightly lemony with some grassy undertones. Some stone fruit with some white bread malts. Nicely sweetened on the finished with a very mild bitterness that just lingers around.

M: Bubbly and light. The drinkability is off the charts. Lightly bodied with a medium-high carbonation level. Slightly swet finish.

O: A wonderfully light and flavorful pale ale that has exceptional drinkability. I wish I had access to this as I would work it into my summer rotation of Daisy Cutter and Zombie Dust.
