Re-rating this one as it struck me much better than I remembered. Beautiful looking beer, a clear coppery red with a rocky white head and lacing. A slightly floral, grassy aroma. The body is quite creamy with a rich toasted malt flavor and a nice hop finish. I dig it.

Pours light reddish gold with minimal head. Aroma of hops, banana, and apple. Initial taste is relatively mild. Strong hop finish with smooth malt balance. Better finish than start. A good but not great ale.

Pours an awesome amber/copper color with a slight head..Nice American hop aroma...Good moderate palate. Nice smooth hop start w/ a slight caramely sweet finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a thin broken layer of head. Lightly biscuity aroma with a decent floral hop aroma that gets a tad bit musky as it warms. Mild hoppy start over a smooth malt base. Finish is underwhelming. Tastes more like an ESB.

Amber beer with a nice citrus and pine aroma. Tastes of American hops with some caramel and toasty notes. Good.

Nice amber color with decent head, some lacings. Aroma is malty, butter caramel and toast with citrus floral hops. Bitter and dry finish lingers. Well balanced.

amber color with a bubbly head...floral hop and malt aroma...hop aroma subsides and malts pick up....head dissipates quickly with very little lacing... sweet start with a bitter finish...start has caramel and bread and finish hits you with a good hoppy bite...thin mouth feel...very drinkable ... great pale ale with a good balance
