12oz bottle acquired in trade with JCapriotti (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel and lemon pledge. Bland tastes of citrus and bready. Nothing really stands out about this except the lemon pledge aroma.

Pours a transparent light copper bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of very mild, citrusy hops with a touch of pale malt. Body starts fairly weak in flavor with a light bittersweetness throughout, a hint of toasted grain and grapefruity hops. Pretty bland overall.

Nice copper body with a skimpy off-white head. Aroma of mild caramel malt with some orange zest and earthy bitterness. The flavor is a very light sweet malt with a dash of citric hop bitterness. A fine example of the taming of a style.

A very light pale ale in color, aroma, flavor and finish. Actually quite well balanced and the alcohol is quite well hidden.

Bottle. Clear copper color with a medium white head that was mostly diminishing. Good hoppy aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Moderate flavor with short bitter finish.

Medium sized light tan colored head. A light amber body. The aroma is lightly hoppy. Notes of metal and some butter. Also hints of citrus. The taste is a fairly well balanced and light bread and oranges. Some hints of roasted toffee. Nice and light to drink. Very smooth creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle: Golden hue with a small fizzy head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of grassy and floral hops, pale and bready malts, light note of grapefruit and apple, some veggie esters as well. The taste is rather straight forward, mildly bitter with a good balance of malt character. Some subdued pepper and yeast flavors as well. A very faint finish, some lingering bitterness. The feel is lievly at first but seems to lose a punch as I drink it. A beginner pale ale, accessible and not too complex. My dad liked it and the reason I bought the sample pack.
