Commercial Description:
Our certified organic interpretation of a West Coast Pale Ale. This medium-bodied beer has a hoppy bouquet and a distinctive rich taste with a caramel-like sweetness that is balanced with a liberal dose of domestic Centennial and imported East Kent Golding hops. Certified organic, certified good.

Wow this is awful. Aroma of metal and stale hops. Pour was nice enough. A nice medium amber with a one finger off white head that fades quickly. Taste was horrendous. If you put 50 pennies in heavily carbonated seltzer water then poured some dirty dishwater in it, this would be it. Terrible.

Bottle: Reddish amber colored pour with little off white head. Sweet, nutty, malty aroma with sweet, floral, nut, bitter finish.

Pours a clearish reddish brown color with a thin white head that fades quickly. Smells great! Hoppy and malty all at the same time. Nice, almost fresh hop smell with a stiff malt backbone. Doesn’t taste quite as great as it smells. Tastes good up front and then towards the finish all of the malt flavor hits you at once. The flavor is good but its such a rush of flavor its hard to untangle. Kind of metallic. Thin mouthfeel, crisp carbonation. Not bad, not bad at all. I would drink a sixer of this no problem.

From a 12 ounce bottle poured a rich amber color with a small light tan head. Minimal lacings. First impression is a sweet caramel malt. The hops are following the malt. A very drinkable brew and I did enjoy it.

350 ml bottle from Pizza Port. Golden reddish amber with a fizzy white head. Roasted barley aroma. Aroma better than taste, faint bready taste. Not that great.

Diacetyl and iced tea nose. More Diacetyl and iced tea on the palate and still more in the finish.

Deep copper color, smallish foamy head. Butterscotchy malt aroma, with a bit of earthy stale herbal leafy notes in the background. Fullish palate, with a roundish malt, but the carbonation has too much bite, until its somewhat astringent. Finish is nearly balanced, leaning towards a woody bitterness.

Pours a cloudy reddish amber with a slightly off-white head. Aroma of earthy grains, a bit of caramel malt, and citrus. Same goes for the flavor, but more bread and roasty flavors. Fairly thin mouthfeel.
