Bottle thanks to cavie. Pours a clear gold with white fizzy head. Aroma has a nice piney scent with some malt. Flavor of nice piney hops, malt, nice balanced bitter. Mouth feel is medium body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, not bad at all.

Dec 16, 2009 Bottle. This beer smells like wet dog, really. Taste is pine, definitely more hops than SN pale ale.

Dec 2, 2009 This is a flavorful Pale Ale, almost a weak IPA, but what does one expect from our friends at Lagunitas? Great piney hop aroma, nice pale body, tasty hops but not too bitter. If you love IPAs but want something a little lighter for a change, don’t hesitate!

Dec 1, 2009 RnH: can you say under-rated?! Pours a pale straw leaving a finger of dry white head... nose is strong hops. Taste is bright, some earthy bitters, light fruits, malts and sugars... actually hoppier than expected. Nice balance, strong and bitter yet light and refreshing.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice dark gold color with a decent, foamy, white head that lasts. Taste is of pine, hops, citrus and some malt. Has a nice pine and citrus aftertaste. Decent, slightly watery, body. Some bitterness in the finish. Similar aroma. An enjoyable beer that is offered at a decent price.

Nov 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy, bright orange color; off-white head with good retention and mixed-bubbled lacing; nice-looking pour. Aroma shows a good amount of orange and citrus bitterness, juicy hop character overall, and a fair amount of candied oranges; nicely resiny. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: this has a fair amount of heft for a pale ale; definitely hop forward, with a smooth orange bitterness and citrusy / herbal overtones; maltiness is quiet: some dried peaches and oranges; this also shows a fair amount of acidity; mouthwatering, juicy, solid. Medium finish: some toastiness appears alongside lasting orange and mineral bitterness.
