Oct 9, 2009 Growler from the brewery. Very light straw hue, thin ring of white head persists, slightly translucent. Nose is strong hop scents of pine and light citrus with some bready malts. Flavor is initially dominated by pale malts and bitter chalky pine resin, transitions to slight bready and biscuit malts, hints of grass and oranges/lemons, finishes slightly bitter. Light-medium body, watery thin texture, modest carbonation. A superb pale ale with big malt and hop flavors, balanced with a low abv, well in the session range.

Sep 1, 2009 Growler from Snojerk321. Thanks. This was a really nice lower alcohol session beer in my opinion. Gotta love flavorful session ales. This one has a pungent hoppy nose with a good dose of citrus, pine, and floral notes. There is a hint of biscuit as well. Pours light golden with a little chill haze and a good whispy head. Nice and hoppy from start to finish as it moves through citrus and pine, a little earth, floral hoppy notes, and a hint of grass. All on top of a biscuity/bready light malt backbone. Light and easy to quaff. Really solid.

Jul 26, 2009 On tap. Clear yellow with a dense white head leaving some laces. Fresh piney aroma from the hops. Light body, not much malt but plenty of fruity, citrusy notes with a dry bitter finish. A very fresh session drinker. 080709
