Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a finger worth of white hear that settled to a thick lace. The body of the brew was a clear copper in color.
The aroma coming from this is quite hoppy for a pale. I really like it in all its piney, citric goodness. The flavor is the same as the nose hop forward grassy and bitter. It had a light feel in my mouth and crisp on my tongue.
Truly an easy drinking APA sessionable and refreshing I would drink it again

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 15, 2009 Hazy orange with a creamy off white head and lace. A light bready aroma with very light hops and medium malt. Medium malt followed by a light medium bitter. A medium bodied beer that is not bad at all. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA

This was out of a bottle courtesy of some friends. Light, fizzy body, amber color. I felt it had a bit of an earthy aroma. Hoppy, with a more astringent finish. Seems typical to me of a pale ale variety of beer. Not bad. beerandIT (190), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Wow. Light bodied but packs a hell of a hop punch on the finish for what it is. On the nose you get some hops, but they really come through as the beer leaves your mouth. Get this one highly recommended. They say pale ale but it is classed as an IPA on ratebeer and I can see that to be honest. phukktifano (159), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2009 12oz bottle from Immy - thanks, Tim! Hazy straw gold pour with a lively head, which carries over into an active mouthfeel. Nose is more modest than is desirable, with faint floral hops and more malts. Flavor is initially quite malty, but is redeemed by an extremely dry and bitter finish, which I found quite nice and refreshing.
