Commercial Description:
An American style pale ale, brewed with pale and crystal malts and a touch of oats. Copious amounts of Cascade Hops are added late in the boil for a pleasant floral and citrus aroma. A very refreshing ale that may leave you wanting another.

12oz bottle-pours an off white head and slightly hazy gold colr. Aroma is citrus hops, yeast, secondary grain/medium malt-caramel. Taste is earthy/citrus hops, yeast/biscuity, secondary grain/medium malt-caramel/butterscotch. A bit homebrew/small micro character. OK carbonation. Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.

Very clear, golden color. A bit bland flavoring, but a strong Hoppy bitter aftertaste, although it doesn’t stay on your tounge too long.

Amber color with very little head. Smells of grapefruit and caramel. Thin body and not much carbonation. A little bitter and tastes of citrus and toffee. Overall it’s a pretty good beer.

Appearance: Pours a very clear body with just a hint of gold to it. Tiny white head dissipates quickly. Smell: So light! Just a hint of steeped grains and a mild citrus character. Taste: Again, so light! Slight taste of grain with a subtle toffee sweetness. Mild citrusy hops. Medium bitterness. Lightly bitter, watery finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s pretty embarrassing. Poor West Virginia.

Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Thanks to who gave me this at DLD so I could finally rate a West Virginia beer:

Clean golden hue with a small but lasting frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of mild grassy and citric hops, wet pale grains, a hint of crystal malt and some butterscotch. The taste starts sort of twangy and mildly bitter with a dose of pale sweet malt in support. A light peppery spice upon the finish. The mouth feel is lively and has a papery finish. Okay, better than expected.
