look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

This poured a very thin bubbly head with noticeable carbonation and a pale golden color. It did not hold the color or structure of many a heartier Pale Ale.

The scents were the best part of this APA. Very evident was the fruitiness and hoppiness of a quality APA. Notes of pine, sweet barley and even a hint of clove were detected. The fruity aroma was the best part.

The taste was smooth and light; a bit of grainy malt and a touch of hoppy bitterness. Didn't detect the fruitiness that I caught on the aroma and that was missed. The end is a touch metallic with a tinny feel.

I was very impressed with the complexity of the scent so the taste was a bit disappointing but still good enough to drink regularly.

Packaging: 12 oz. brown bottle, pry-cap
Glassware: Tulip pint
Purchased: Received from a friend

Bright and clear copper-colored brew with an off-white head of a finger or two. The head goes down quickly but still has some lingering retention and a little lace. Aromas seem fairly muted of citrus hops.

The taste is pretty strong in the hops department as you'd expect and has a sharp bittering factor. Mouthfeel is crisp, with a finish that's both dry and bitter.

Overall a well-made hop-forward beer with no frills.

Thanks to Kirk for this one!

Found in DE:

Bottled on 03 19 2013:

Into a mug:

A: semi-clear yet somewhat hazy golden orange body yielding a nice two finger white foamy head, lacing is spotty and leaves some rings

S: hops up front slightly citrus with a nice combination of malts

T: bittersweet with some nice flavorful lemon tones coming through

M: light to medium, sessionable, carbaonation seems right on, slightly smooth

O: wow! This is a very nice APA that seems spot on for a hoppy one of its style, I would definitely have this again

Trying to remember the various great beers I had while bicycling cross-country last year. This one, seems not too well known outside it's local area, is a damn good beer. I hadn't been in the States for some years and was quite impressed with the improvements and availability of good craft beers (you are excused, Utah) and I recall going into a bottle shop somewhere in Middle America, land of Bud Light, and asking for something 'dry hopped'. The knowledgeable guy in the shop sold me this. Full flavored, well hopped, it is a fine one!
