Pours a light copper with a thick eggshell-colored head. Fresh, clean hoppy aroma blanced with lots of sweet caramel malt. Great tasting sweet butterscotch body well balanced with a piney hop bitterness. Very smooth, refreshing and drinkable.

Proud earthy, floral hops sliding slowly on the tongue, providing decent wooden bitterness...Delicate caramelized cereals tag along with friendly citrus fruit…A fine quencher, like most of McNeill’s ales...

Pours a cloudy light brown with no noticeable head. Smells of banana. Tastes very bitter at first with hop and malty undertones. Mollows out nicely. Good, but not as good as some of their other creations.

22 oz bomber from the brewery. Light amber beer. Aroma is lightly orangey and peachy with a strong house yeast sweet estery character. Lightly dusty and orangey with a touch of phenolic character. Peach and orange flavour with a decent balance of fruity grapefruity hops and pale malt. The dustiness is fairly distracting and doesn’t really work in this pale ale. The house character of this yeast just comes across as dirty and it doesn’t really work for me. It’s better obscured in some beers than others, but in this it’s got nowhere to hide.

Hazy orangy dark straw hue, with noble hop, pale malt, grainy notes in the aroma. The palate is complex, giving unfiltered flavors of hops, malt, some slight peachy fruit. As with all beers from these guys, this one is very well done.
