Coppery brown color with a small but firm head. Herbal and citrus bitterness in the aroma along with a hint of grain and malt. Flavor is a light hit of tart citrus with a cereal malt finish. It’s a little lighter than most APA’s but still a very drinkable beer. Nice to see City Brewery branching out a bit.

Tasted 9/22/08. 12oz bottle. Thanks Keir. Clear with a golden hue. Moldy off-white head. Mild nose with grapefruit citrus notes. Medium bodied with crisp malts, but the floral Cascade hop dominates. Crisp hop palate. Solid. Really nice and highly drinkable plae ale.

I really like this beer. Pours a golden brown and has a pale white head. I’ve had this beer three times and each time it gets better. Deffinately worth trying.

Semi hazy amber with a quickly dissipating white head that laces a little as it fades. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, yeast, cereal with some vegetal properties. Body is effervescent with citrus and caramel leading up to a medium bitter finish that has some sweetness to it. The hop character on the finish isn’t very well defined… Bargain bin pale ale.

Herbal, leafy, citrusy hop aromas. Leafy bitterness, coppery metallic edge. Simple and drinkable.
