Sampled on draft at the brewery and bottle with the staff at woody’s. Pours a clear golden amber with fair light tan head. Nose of floral cascade and fuggle hops. Flavor is extremely balanced between caramel malt and hops. Medium body with medium carbonation and a pleasant lightly bitter resin finish. I’m very proud of myself that I was able to give this the exact same score on draft and from the bottle almost a week apart. Most impressive of all their brews that I had. And a damn fine balanced pale ale!

Look is deep copper colored with some amber not too much head. Smell is malts and hops in good balance. Taste is a good blend of malts and hops.

12oz via BMan1113VR thanks for my first Arkansas brew. Pours orange with a nice stable tan head. Nose is malty with a touch floral hops. Taste is light with some orangey hops and a nice overall mouthfeel. Pretty decent pale.

Appearance: Pours a clearish, amber body with a tiny, tired head. Smell: Pale malts, a touch grainy, along with notes of caramel and citrus. Taste: Pale malts with a caramel sweetness and hint of grain. Spicy, citrusy hops with a medium bitterness. Relatively bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: You know the drill: So-so. Basic at best. One of an endless array of average Pale Ales across the world.

From a 12 ounce bottle - Pours an almost clear orange/red with very nice carbonation, and average lacing. Smells of sweet malts and some sticky hops. Possibly some oxidation beginning. First sip is surprisingly dull but balanced - just not enough flavor to go beyond mediocrity. A big disappointment
