Light orange. Light smell of hops. Hoppy initial taste with a fading finish. Also well done.

On tap. Orange colored with a beige head and clear. Smell is light hops, citrus, and some malts. Taste is light but good with a a good balance between the malts and hops.

(Sample from February 23, 2007 Beer Club Meeting; on tap at NXNW in Austin on July 20, 2008) Semi-cloudy pale gold. Hard to target in on the aroma. Taste is just bitter/pale enough to raise the eyebrow but leaves no aftertaste. Thin, sweet… delicious.

Clear pale amber with a thin sheen. Nice berry fruit, honey aroma with piney hops. Smooth medium body. Good pale malt, honey sweet bread flavors with a mild piney hop bitterness to finish. easy drinking. Draft@ the brewpub 7/10/2008

Draught. Aromas of light pine, peach, and light caramel. Clear amber-brown with a small head. Good bitterness but severely lacking in hop flavor or any malt background. Harsh and unbalanced. A boring pale ale.
