Great colour, nice long lasting head, good lacing. I don't like Falconer's Flight at all (I always seem to pick up the dill flavours from the Sorachi Ace), but I still drained the glass in very short order. Thanks!

Enjoyed this one. Great APA, with a decent amount of hop around & flavour.

I liked it. I thought the late hopping was a little high, more into IPA territory, but it was well made and easy to drink.

I really enjoyed this one. I like the higher hop flavour and aroma in an APA so this hit the spot.

Tasty brew for watching playoff football! Go Steelers! I haven't had much exposure to FF hops but i'm enjoying them :cheers3:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
