Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

gold, cottonwood head. bold hop aroma with a creamy edge. now thats how I likes it! long lasting, rounded, flavorful bitterness rises quickly, plateaus, and maintains at length. anything more polarized would seems like an attempt at an ipa. base reminds me of a few cream ales ive had. very pure bitterness, nearly goes over the top and into as
Whoops, missed rating this in the past... Strongly hopped (west coast style) APA. Plenty of hop aroma pours out of the can opening to let you prepare your tongue for the fresh hoppy, citrusy and slightly sweet flavor. crisp, somewhat bitter finish. Borders on IPA. Appearance = can. Expect it will be as good or better in a glass.
Can courtesy of Mar. I really liked this beer. To me, this is what a hoppy american pale ale should taste like. Definitely an everyday drinker. Can, clear orange, almost apple juice color, very hoppy nose, citrusy and sweet. Flavor was malty, creamy. Perfect hop balance. Not overwhelmingly hoppy, very smooth to drink.
