FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN PALE ALE: This is just a bad ass beer despite it's name. Reminds me of a grass we have out her in Washington called 'windgrass'; you can almost see the wind moving in the grass when you say it...wind...grass.  Anyway..the beer- this has a strong backbone of piny hops (Simcoe) and  we read about the Amarillo hop when we had the Deschutes Twilight, its where we get that orange aroma. The Columbus hop gives us a bit of a woody flavor and the Simcoe hop is where we get the grapefruit flavor. You smell mostly orange and grapefruit and a high malt. A bit chewy, Pretty tasty- so we have a high malt and bad ass hop flavor that sticks around way after you have finished your beer.  These guys are serious about their beer- they gave us Original Gravity, IBUs and not sure what Lov. means but it all looks bad ass to me. A+
