Dark amber pour with thick head that hangs around for a while. Aroma is biscuity with some notes of citrus. Taste is hoppy with some citrus and a dry, slightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and slightly creamy. Overall, a solid IPA.

Can. Off white head. Orange hued gold. Lace.

Caramel and bready malts. Earthy and floral hops. Some resin. A bit of stickiness. Pretty simple. Classic pale ale.

Crafted on 09/10/18 stamped on bottom of 12 ounce can:

The smell is of grapefruit, tropical fruits with caramelized biscuit.

The taste is hop-forward, yet still in APA style. Citric/tropical fruity hops mix with chewy caramel malt. Dry finish,

It has a smooth medium body.

A very nice hop-forward APA. Easy to drink and enjoyable!

The first craft beer I tried when I first moved to Arizona from the beer heaven that is the Pacific Northwest. Coming from the PNW, this beer was a bit of a let down. But, taken from where I am, and what is available, this is one of the better beers in the Phoenix craft scene. Nice golden amber look, the smell isn't super inviting, but it does not turn you away either. Drinks like an American Pale, but has a flavor profile that hints at IPA. One of the hoppiest American Pale's I have had for sure. Overall, a pretty good beer at a good price compared to many other options. This is one of my go too's if I just need to grab something real quick on the way home or on the way to a gathering as it works for me, and for many others I have met in the Valley of the Sun

Clear, deep amber gold color with lasting white cap and lacing.

Aroma of malt and piney, citrusy hops.

Flavor on entry is hop forward with a West Coast sort of firm, sharp hoppiness redolent with pine and sharp citrus. Malt is present but more along for the ride providing a solid base without adding an equal balance against the hops. Not a heavily bitter flavor as it's muted by the malt, but it's certainly a hop centric brew.

Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

Brew calls it a "Southwestern Style Ale". I call it a very flavorful APA that could easily pass for an IPA.
