Pours from 12 oz. a light coppery hue, forming white foamy froth. Aroma of citrus and hops, perhaps malted nuts. Malts dominate with a mild hop and citrus ending. Watery and without much real character. I mean its OK beer, probably great for lawns and such, but after that its not really meant for memorable sessions and/or friends. This IS NOT a premium APA, as the commercial description suggest. Drink it and you decide...

Excellent pale ale. This beer has a sweeter beginning and a hoppy finish to make for an overall great taste. I like the hint of fruit and the golden pour.

I like this pale ale-good balance between malt and hops, an easy drinking beer. Company owned by 2 Boone families, brewery owned by a North Carolinian. More info check out: http://www.highcountrypress.com/weekly/2008/07-3

To me, this beer is in the same category as Magic Hat #9. It is a "not quite" pale ale in comparison to other libations of the same ilk. It is drinkable with just the right amount of after taste.

Bottle thanks to Bleacherbum. Found this rather uninteresting. No real noticable flaws, but just a bready beer. I’m not getting anything in the aroma. Very bland. Clean for sure, but nothing really there. Biscuity and dry. The name of the beer and company are misleading: This is brewed in Pennsylvania. With all the supposed hoopla their website claims this beer is creating down there in NC, it seems misleading to me. I prefer the Appalachian Ale from Peabody’s in Boone. Atleast it was once brewed in Boone and is still brewed in NC. This beer loses points for it’s misleading and corny nature. You should read how these guys talk themselves up: Visit their website! Pomp and circumstance. Brewed by the Lion brewery in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Meh...Am I harsh? Maybe. Honest? Most definitely.

Beer pours clear, golden color with a dissipating off white head. Beer has a nice citrsy hop note in the nose as well as a cereal grain aroma. Flavor is initially sweet and biscuity and then has a bit of a dry hop finish. Pretty decent beer.

Orangey gold, decent sized white head. More malty than hoppy in both the nose and flavor. Some caramel notes and some biscuity flavors, too. OK, I guess, but rather uninspiring. Contract brewed in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Bottle. Pours orange. Smells hoppy and fruity. Nice citrus taste and easy on the plalate. Goes down very good. Overall a nice beer.
