A: the head is two fingers thick and while it dissipates relatively quickly its not a let down at all, the amber reddish brown color is also pleasing.

S: there is not a lot of aroma here but its good enough

T: its a little weak to be honest, a little too watery for the rush of flavor a fresh harvest ale should generate, but thats ok because the flavor that is here is very good. there is a subtle but noticeable hops flavor with very light bitterness
there is a smooth balance that is very pleasant this is a good beer and would be an excellent apa, but a rather light ipa. good beer, but nothing earth shattering or category defining

A- Brilliant clear fall harvest orange hue. Nice white head that fades rather quickly and leaves a ton of spider-web lacing all over the glass.

S- Fruity citrus and pine! More sweet maltiness than I would expect from an IPA. Picking up the yeasty notes underneath the grapefruit, orange peel and wet hay.

T- Very bitter! Lots of tropical citrus and piney hop punch. Nice underlying hints of sweet malts. Caramel, licorice, bitter tangerine peel, lemons, and pine sap.

M- Very bitter on the tongue. It almost strips away everything else. Very little maltiness lies underneath. Not very well balanced.

O- Worth trying once, but I probably wouldn't seek this one out again. The citrus doesn't pop enough, and the malts don't carry thru very well.
