nice clear copper color with a whispy white head, sweet grapefruit aroma, lots of good hop flavor with just enough sweetness to keep it honest, grapefruit shows up late followed by a lingering bitter finish

Light copper color with citrusy aroma ... then POW! Grapefruit! Nice light zing. Good beer.

Great consistent pale ale. A generous white head complements the copper body, just as the citrusy nose complements its fruity overtones. Good use of hops as well (not too much).

Orange, with a thin white head. Big citrus hop aroma. Nice hop flavor, too - Kind of rough, fresh resiny hops. Decent smoky malt in the background. Remains nicely hopped to the finish.

Sampler at the Four Queens Casino Brewpub - Also called "Pale Rider" at the Brewpub. Poured a orangish-amber in color wth a whitish head. Aroma was heavy of citrus-pine hops with a hint of malty sweetness. Flavor was pretty hoppy... citrus-pine and cascade grassiness too... the way I like it. Very good.

My beer was also called Pale Rider, available at the Cigar Bar in the Four Queens. West Coast style pale ale with heavy citrus flavor. Flavor has cascade hops written all over it.

Tap @ Reno Festival. Amber color with an off white head. Citrus, smooth, refreshing, malty, and a little grassy.
