Bottle poured an off-white head with some lace and a hazy golden amber body. Smells of pineapple, honey, and biscuit. Tastes the same. Finish has a good bitterness and a little sweetness.

Sampled at the Flying Saucer in Little Rock. Pours a dark, ruddy copper with quite a bit of caramel aroma. Taste has a small amount of hop bitterness, but is very smooth and quite refreshing.

Bottle thanks to BMan1113VR: Pours a transparent copper orange with a creamy well-lacing off-white head. Aroma of toasty dry pale malt and some earthy piny English hops. Starts with average fullness and semi-sweet with a touch of caramel giving way to more bittering hops and a drier finish. An ok English-style pale ale, but could use a little more body and sweetness.

Thanks ericandersnavy. Pours a sot coppery orange with a one finger sticky offwhite head. The nose is mildly sweet, piny, earthy, herbal, nice hop nose, . The flavor is a bit of a step down, mild corn comes through, malty sweetness, spicy/waxy bitterness. Not too bad.

From Butters Pours slightly hazy orange with a white head. Good citrus sweet and floral aroma. Very sweet citrus taste but leaves a bitter aftertaste which is a nice balance. This is a good easy drinking beer.
