Pours a crystal clear copper liquid capped with a bit over a finger of bubbly white head. The head condenses quickly, but clings to leave some nice lacing. Subtle grassy, piney aroma with similar flavors. There is some hidden nuttiness, and some obvious hops. Very clean and crisp on the palate with a nice bite followed by a smooth, dry finish.

on tap at papago... rich golden colored pour with a frothy white head. immense amount of lace in the forms of rings, splotches and drips. it smells earthy and woody with touches of pale malt, orange and pine. the flavor is pretty much the same... add some waxy hoppiness and a dry finish. medium bodied, prickly, dry and easy to drink whilst eating pizza. 7/4/7/3/14/3.5

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white head quickly recedes to skim surface leaving sheet lacing. Orange and grapefruit aromas. Crisp and dry with sweet oranges upfront and a lasting resin and grapefruit finish.

Bottle. Pours golden/light brown with a large bubbly white head and good lacing. Aroma is sweeter than I expected for a pale. Flavor is well balanced with floral hop notes and a slight bitterness in the finish.

Golden poppy hue, light tan head, diminishing light tan head, decent lacing, more english than american therefore; maltier and less hoppy, has the great divide chocolatey bread malt taste, not to carbonated, hint of floral hop mininal pine at the end but balanced, drinkable, light bitter aftertaste.

Slightly hazy; light copper color. Amazing frothy head--leaves extensive spotty lace. Quite earthy smell (surprisingly), good floral hop aroma. Very dry, almost astringent, flavor which I think is the source of the earthiness. I like the hop content; it is both bittering and spicy. Predictable body.

A honey gold pour that has small chunks of sediment swirling around. Head is white with a light orange tint. Sticky lacing. A sweet floral pine aroma. Hops have a bit of a bite to them and they offer fruit, pine and floral. Nicely complex. It’s bitterness is significant. An interesting beer.

Gold pour with a 1 finger, foamy, white head. Floral hop aroma with some soft citrus, sweet caramel and biscuit notes. Dry, sweet, malty body with notes of biscuit, graham cracker, cookies, citrus and grass. Medium thin body with moderate carbonation.
