Bottle. A drinkable IPA. Yellow color with a medium head. Not much of an aroma, bit of floral. The taste is a bit hoppy, with a hint of fruit.

A good American style pale. Golden body,white foam, with pleasant citrus aroma. Taste is some citrus and a good bitterness, good malting for drinkability. Bit above average mouthfeel. A hint of acid in the aftertaste, but that is tolerable.Nice balance

Bottled. Poured clear, bright golden with a short cap of whitish head. The aroma picked up honey and toasted pale malts accented by some pine, earth, and grapefruit.. semi-sweet with a spicy overall character. The flavor was led by spicy pine and citrusy bitterness over a base of sweet toffee and bready malts.. residual sugars, pine, and citrus bitterness on the finish.. some of the hops seemed a bit degraded, but not that bad. Light-medium bodied with a spicy presence from the hops on the palate.. didn’t quite flow right between the hops and the grainy sugars.

It poured a hazy golden liquid with a medium white foam. Smell and taste of fruity and grassy hops, a bit sweet as well. Light body and medium bitterness.

Golden with white frothy head. Bread, fruit, and must aroma. Citrus, patchouli, and bready flavours. Balanced and refreshing.

12-oz. can. Pours a perfectly clear medium amber. Loose, sudsy white head sticks around for a while after a massive, surging, creamy white head blows out the top of the glass. Loose eggy-looking lace. Nice big piney nose with apricot undertones. Creamy medium body, bit of crispness to it thanks to the carb. Caramel, a bit of dough, and plenty of pine and apricot on the mid-palate. Refreshing and drinkable. Nice APA.

If you’re going for the gold you probably aren’t looking for complexity. This one’s right down the middle and will work in a pinch.

Can from Scrizzz. Thanks, Clint!
Pours a semi-dense amber with a lively body and a healthy yet hollow white head. Nose is sweet and toasted bread with bits of malty orange and roasted nut rounded out with buttery popcorn. Flavor is a hoppy, toasted nut with roasted butter in the finish, along with notes of sweetish corn flakes and bready fruit. Nice, lingering finish. Overall, a very nice and approachable pale.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention. Caramel and resin aromas. Sharp grapefruit upfront turning to bready grain. Lasting pine finish.
