Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet malty nose, with a floral pine hop character. A hint of citrus and decent hop character.

Tasting at mcbackus 10/19. Amber pour, hops on the nose...citrus hops. Good hops, decent malt. Pretty harsh...and if you like that style, this beer is for you.

12oz bottle. Pours a medium amber with a 1 1/2 inch off-white head. Aroma is hop all the way, with a floral and grapefruit presence. Crisp, full flavor. This one tastes pretty much like it smells, with a pretty decent malt balance added in on the back end. Listed here as an IPA, yet GLBC considers it an American Pale. Either way, tasty stuff.

Bottle. Poured a nice clear amber color with minimal off-white head. Floral and citrus hops dominate the scent of the beer. The beer had a medium body, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a bitter finish. The flavor has a slight bitterness, but nothing really jumps out other than that. Overall, this is an all right IPA. It is definately easy to drink.

Bottle@Home. Thanks Brad! Pours thick and firm. Amber colour, beige firm head, good lace. Grapefruit, peach, apple aroma with grassy notes. Sweet, light fruity, quite malty, some grass in the finish. Quite full, soft. Easy drinkable, flavorful, refreshing.

Light copper color with a very clear color. small head, but very nice lacing. the aroma is hoppy, wiht alittle grassy. the flavor is not overwelming with hops, a smooth taste. dry but smooth. this is good, just wish the hops where alittle stronger.

Thanks brent. Pours a copper amber with a thin frothy light yellow head. Looks kind of still. The nose was a little grassy, some spicyness, some citrus, earthy, sweet bready malt, smells a little less than fresh. The flavor is spicy, grassy, kind of dry, sweet bready malty, alcohol shows. The mouthfeel is dry and a little biting. Pretty good pale ale.
