Lemon grass aroma sits atop a light golden ale with fluffy, thick head and tons of suspended floaties. Crisp and light citrus flavor with tons of columbus hops at play. Very clean and lightly sweet. Not a bad pale at all.

Bottle: Gold, nice head and great lacing. Nose of full on citrusy hops, very San Diegan. Grassy, grapefruity. Nice maltiness and intense hoppy notes. The flavor is balanced, dry-hopped, so not too bitter. Finishes clean, light, drinkable.

12 oz bottle. Golden amber with a great head that left good lacing. Lots of hoppy floral aromas. Flavor was hoppy too. Fruity and citrus. Very good pale ale.

12oz bottle via the beer swap box! - Thanks! - Pours golden with a fluffy white head that fades back to a ring but laces from there down. Beautiful citrus aroma of orange blended with many floral notes as well and a little grapefruit even. Flavor is quite hoppy as well with notes of orange, grapefruit, floral accents, and light grains. Crisp, clean and refreshing on the palate. This is as fine of a pale ale as I’ve tasted. Very nice..

Poured a orange-tinged copper color with a big cratered head. Very nice orange-buddy citrus nose. Very citric bite in the flavor, too, like spiced oranges, very nice dry finish.

bottle: smells straight up like a bouquet of flowers. flavors of cirtus, mainly orange and grapefruit. a complimenting balance of hoppy bitterness. a tad too dry for me....but all in all u can’t go wrong with humboldt brewing.

Clear amber color with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet citrus hops aroma mixed with caramel, and a flavor to match.
