16 oz. can poured into nonic

L: hazy gold, no amber, can see through it but it's definitely a haze; big head ... the brew starts to foam up as soon you open the can, to the point that foam comes up out of the can -- ends up being over an inch thick head of white sticky foam, and quite thick; the head sticks like crazy, and the some clumps of foam linger on the skin

S: citrus ... grapefruit mixed with some pine; as it warms, a bit of caramel

T: follows the nose, loads of citrus leaning toward grapefruit with some lemon and detectable pine; also has some grainy notes; as it warms, there's a bit of caramel

F: a bit soft but still well-carbonated despite pouring so foamy

O: not bad but it doesn't stand out from the many American pales out there. the fact that the caramel notes show up as it warms makes me think that's malt -- some might like it and call it balance, but I don't like the caramel tastes in American pales ...

bottom line, it's worth a try and might be a mix of notes you love. it's not overly bitter, quite tame, in fact, and very drinkable. there's definitely citrus, pine, caramel, grain with only the citrus being a dominant player and even it is somewhat subdued.

Slight haze on the amber brew with modest suds in the Piraat tulip. Smell is a little dishwatery. Grainy with a bitter finish. Something like lime peel in the aftertaste.

Rather plain with a crackery malt taste. The label says it's brewed with Apollo and Bravo hops and German Alt yeast. Some grapefruit flavors. On some sips I get a plasticky touch in the nose. From the 16 oz can purchased at Susan's Fine Wine & Spirits in Santa Fe.

16oz can with no date. Poured into a snifter. Deep gold with small one inch head that doesn't fade. Moderate lacing. Smell is skunk orange that masks the biscuit. Taste is soft dirty pine with some pineapple. Creamy mouthfeel. Interesting pale ale that I enjoyed. Cheers!
