Had more malty notes than typical Pale Ales, which surprised me. For North Coast, it’s probably the tamest brew I’ve had, but very drinkable. Very good overall.

Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from this, but it was really good. A great ale. Nice color, hops definitely come through - the taste seemed to be consistent throughtout - not a brew that you get bored with.

Amber colored beer that starts out hoppy, but had a malty finish. Not bad, but seemed to fall a little short of expectations.

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.
