Slight citrus aroma, with a touch of biscuit malts. Pours a clear golden color, with a thin white head. The flavor is slightly sweet, with noble hop flavors, and a slightly bitter finish. Nicely balanced, and very easy to drink.

12 oz. pours with perfect thick head and nice hazy, shimmering deep body. Aroma is heavily of honey, enticing, but could be stronger. Flavor is grassy with pine and light, low acid citrus. Palate is very wet with great carbonation and a satisfying mouthfeel. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and only slightly lacking in flavor.

Draught at the brewery in Denver. I really enjoyed this one. This is the maltiest pale ale I’ve ever had. Definitely has the hop profile but also a sweet, cookie like, biscuity malt side.

Draught at the GD tap room. Normal appearance and copper colour for the style. Just a thin off-white head on top and nice small carbonation bubbles. Smooth hops in the aroma...nothing overpowering. More smoothness in the flavour from piney hops. Crisp, short finish.

Pours a clear light copper color in the glass with a a small white head that faded fast and left nice lacing. Smells of hops with a sweet floral undertone. Tastes crisp and hoppy with a malty middle and a crisp hop finish. Good and clean, easy to drink and not lacking in flavor. Tasty.
