On tap at the brewery.

A: Pretty hazy with small head and a few thin patches of lace.

S: Very faint aroma, if any. I'm burying my nose in the beer and barely picking up any scents.

T: A very simple brew with not much going on, for better or worse. The beer has a slightly annoying off flavor throughout the taste. Soapy...eh. There's really not else much to report.

M: Very thin and watery. Slight out of kilter aftertaste that hangs out for a few seconds after each sip.

D: If you like a non-challenging, soapy beer, you'll really dig this.

On-tap at the brewpub.

Pours a light copper color with a one-finger white head. The head settles into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.

Smells of pale malts and hints of floral and grapefruit hops.

Tastes similar to how it smells. Pale malt flavors up front with very light hints of citrus hops and a crisp and solidly bitter ending.

Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness with moderate carbonation.

Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing the glass and could have another.

Overall this is a good APA and one I would order another of. Worth a shot if you're at the brewpub.

A: When it arrived it was deep amber red with a small pale head that persisted at about 1/6 inch and left thick rings of lace all the way down the glass. There was also a nice show of effervescent carbonation bubbles continuously steaming towards the head.

S: Floral and herbal hops. Some underlying malt sweetness and citrus fruit, but this one's smell is all about the hops.

T&M: It has a spicy, herbal hop flavor with an underlying balance of pale malt that balances the hops out nicely on the finish. Relatively high amounts of carbonation accentuate the hops nicely. It's medium bodied with a good amount of mouthcoating and a moderately dry finish.

D: Very drinkable. Paired it with the Cajun Style Pizza with sausage, bell peppers, crawfish, three kinds of cheese and cajun spices. I wouldn't call it sessionable, but it went nicely with the meal.

Had this on draft at the Emerald Coast Brew Fest in Pensacola, FL. Poured golden/amber with white head that didnt last too long. Floral hop aroma that was pleasant. Hop character is evident up front in the taste, but the malt come through in the end for a nice balance. Mouthfeel is good, and drinkability is good.

This beer was a very nice, deep red/brown color, and it had a very nice and thick head. it had some of the fullest lacing I have ever seen on a beer. It didnt have a strong aroma but it had a pleasent smell, though nothing really stood out. It had a very hoppy, earthy taste, which I loved. it had the perfect amount of carbonation and was very easy to drink. If this beer was readily available I would no doubt drink it regularly. if you live in the area and havent tried i yet, stop by cause you've already waited too long.
