Bottle givien to me by a friend cuz I "..like wierd beer..." Poures a sllightly hasy yellow with a lively but quickly dissipating white head. Soft grain and cereal aroma wth a tough of hops. Flavor is bland and of corn and paper. A bit sweet and lacking any decent hops flavor. Goes down easy I suppose and OK if your thirsty.

Fairly weak for a pale ale. Definitely drinkable, but not the pale ale I’d choose most nights.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Aroma is a bit weak and reminds me of cheap beer. A nice semi-opaque orange color. Starts out with a good, strong flavor, but it fades quickly into a kind of watered-down finish. It’s okay, but not great.

Pours a pale copper with a good bit of head. Aroma is almost non-existent, but what is there is mostly metallic and faintly bitter. Taste matches the aroma, starts out decently enough, with a light bitterness and hint of hops and malty sweetness. This fades pretty quickly, however, and just waters down to a residual coppery taste. There is something slightly unpleasant about the finish, which I suspect is just lower-end quality brewing. Not bad... just not very good.

Bottled. Not a very big nor complex APA but better than macro stuff. Just a really light and low alcohol beer that is fine for a really hot day outside.

Ya, doesn’t pack much of a punch at all. Just a faint hoppy note, and a bland bitterness and washed out mouthfeel at the end. Just not very enjoyable, especially from a style I normally love.

12oz bottle. Surprised by how low this is rated; not a good apa really, but a drinkable beer regardless. Pours a light amber color with poor head retention. Sweet honey, caramel, and earthy, light hops in the aroma are barely noticeable. The flavor seems pretty sweet due to the light hopping, but is pretty light overall. Feels British leaning in character, with an earthy tea quality. Lacking american hop signature. The body is nice, with soft carbonation. Nothing offensive going on, but kinda lacks the flavor profile that I would expect in a good apa.

Pale yellow color with wispy bubbles on top but no head forms. Light hop aroma, but lots of honey is noticeable. Mostly honey flavor as well, and a light bitterness comes in at the end. I don’t hate it that bad.
