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.
