12oz bottle. Pours a clear golden body with a finger-width, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma of light and crisp hops with a subtle earthiness along wth a balancing sweet caramel. Flavor is similar and light bodied with a bit of a spicy finish. Crisp and earthy with a nice, lingering finish. Like an IPA in a pale ale body. Overall, a fairly simple pale ale that went down very easily. Decent amount of taste and an enjoyable six pack.

12 oz. bottle at TJ’s. Poured hazy gold. Extremely smooth and light, crisp citrus hoppiness. More characteristic of an extra pale ale. Was expecting a little bit more from these guys but this one is very sessionable at least.

Pours palish orange with a thin white head. Aroma is mild on hops, taste is thinnish bitter. A bit one dimensional to me.

Bottle shared by robert at SL. Drank on April 20th. Light golden yellow color. Ok head. Light aroma of hops... Taste wise this is the best pale ale I have ever tasted... Nice hoppy taste. If some one told me this was an IPA I would of believed them. It had a nice hop bite to it. Light in texture. Really easy to drink. Great beer, that could be drank any where at any time. ****update**** picked up a sixer for my self. This beer is the sh!t... Looks like your typical crappy macro.... but really great taste for a pale ale.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a half finger white head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is malt and floral hops. The taste is earthy hops, malt and light citrus in the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Decent APA.

5/3/09 From 22oz bottle. Aroma has amazing complexity, with an initial pairing of pils-like sourness and caramel, with a background of roasty earthy bittering and flora comprised of true orange and grapefruit. Appearance is clear gold with a well maintained, chunky white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward, with low roast and caramel notes. Bittering is moderate with blends of citrus and low earthiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate carb texture and lingering sweet finish. Overall, an extremely easy drinking pale ale with substantial sweetness that serves only to clean the palate rather than overwhelm it.
