Pours a golden copper color with white head. Nicecaramel malt aroma to it with some piney hops. Heavy piney hop flavor,but no real malt flavor (unlike what the aroma led me to believe). Real bitter ending.

Light amber color; huge, frothy head. Flowery and fruity hoppy aroma, gentle (sweet grapes, peach). Dry and light body structure; some malt, but metallic touch; bold bitterness, but with metallic resins. I tried it some other times and I liked it more…

Cloudy amber color; huge rocky head. Nice hoppy aroma. Reasonable malty body, strong bitterness, a bit astringent and metallic at the end. Average. Unbalanced.

Solid American ale. Nothing special, but good, consistent smooth taste. Carbonation makes it quite refreshing.

Nice malty aroma with a bit of hops. The pour is amber with a white head. Flavor is malty at the forefront with a finish that has a moderate hop touch.

Not what I was expecting, at all... That being said, this isn’t bad. It reminds me more of a wheat beer than a pale ale though. Pours a light honey color with a big fluffy head (similar to a wheat beer) and TONS of carbonation shooting up the side of my glass. Some citrusy hops in the nose, but the main smell I can discern is more estery and fruity, like a wheat beer. Taste is similar, with a slightly spicy and hoppy finish, but the main flavor is very sweet. As it warms up some, theres more of a maltly/yeasty flavor coming through. This wasn’t a bad beer by any means, but it isnt what I would expect from a pale ale and it’s not something that I would want to drink often.
