Clear amber body with small off-white head. Aroma is strong fruity (mango?), some floral. Taste is minimally sweet, finishing pleasant floral bitter. Medium/light body, moderately acidic.

12oz bottle. Bottle looks different than the picture and is labeled ’Extra Pale Ale’ (must be a newer bottle?). Poured a medium and clear orange color with a large sized white head. Floral aroma with caramel and some citrus. Tastes of caramel and citrus. Tastes were on the watery side. Thin body.

Sparkling clear, amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. No retention or lacework. Malty nose with notes of caramel and toffee, dried apricot and chicken broth. Well-balanced flavor with shots of caramel and tangy, bitter hops. Medium-bodied and chewy with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

Pours a clear copper with some fizz and a nice white head. Aroma shows a good malt and hop balance. Body is somewhat full, with a light caramel sweetness and a pleasant hoppy bitterness. Finishes crisp. A decent light, refreshing pale ale.

Actually, this is quite a sessionable ale. Bright copper body and a short-lived creamy head. The aroma has some soft caramel notes balanced by a ligfht floral hopping. It’s a bit thin, but has a good balance of the caramel to the hops, which take on more of an orange zest taste in the drinking. Mildly bitter finish. Okay.

Light copper color with a tall light tan head. Aroma of grapefruit rinds with a backdrop of light malt. Flavors of light caramel malt followed by a medicinal alcohol bitterness that distract completely leaving little else to think about but getting another beer... a different beer.

Thanks to RobertsReality for this. Copper colored with a big white head. Resiny hop aroma with some fruit. Tastes malty, with hops and some finishing fruitiness. Decent balance, with more hop flavor as it warmed.
