Commercial Description:
Demanding beer for demanding beer drinkers -- that's our Pale Ale. We craft this American pale ale with hearty amounts of pale and Munich malts, then balance it with lofty amounts of hops throughout. It's a finessed version of hop-head fun -- a black diamond beer without the bumps and dangerous curves.

Starts well. Pours a nice, cloudy orange, with almost no head and little lacing. However, the aroma is the nastiest, metalic smell I’ve ever encountered in a brew. Terrible smelling stuff. Flavor is better, but light and not interesting. Palate is average. Overall a poor beer, that I hope to never encounter again.

12oz bottle. pours pale orange, white rocky head. Hearty all hop aroma of citrus hops. big pnw c-note nose. decent malt character, spicy hop bitterness. malt shows signs of caramel the finishes with a long lasting bitterness. it is just the way a full flavored American Pale Ale should be. Overfall the malt character is wholesome, but the bitterness is a bit much for any chance of there being balance. Still tasty though. 8,3,6,2,13

Copper pour with decent white head. Light citurs on the nose. Flavor had some hops up front followed by a good bit of malt to wash them away. Medium body with a slightly bitter and roasted finish.

Poured a clear gold color with a three finger white head. Aroma is citrus hops. Flavor was seriously citrus. Poor balance. I still enjoyed this beer slightly, but not the best APA out there.

Pours a bright clear orange with medium foamy white head. Aroma is slight orange sweetness and bit of grapefruit. Flavor reminds me of those sugared orange slice candies with a bit of tart bitter hop finish.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden-amber color with a small, slightly creamy, off-white head that clings to the glass. Taste is of caramel, malt, pine and mostly hops. Fairly bitter, especially in the finish. Aroma is much the same. For the price, this is a lovely beer, that is very easy to drink and enjoy. I wouldn’t mind buying this on a regular basis.
