My friend brought a keg of this to a Super Bowl party. It has great color with a small white head. Very nice aroma of malt and hops. Very smooth taste and nice finish. A great party beer, complements were given all around.

Hazy light orange with a really nice head. Moderately sweet and grainy aroma. The flavor is pretty similar with a light grainy sweetness followed by a crisp lemon/citrus hop finish. Nothing is really going on here.

Tap. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head that was mostly gone by the time the beer was brought to me. Aroma is malty with a bit of citrus hops thrown in as well. Taste is the same, with a smooth palate and a wonderful balance throughout. I wish the flavors would be a bit stronger, but it was a very solid pale ale.

Visited San Diego great brew scene. This brew poured a crystal clear amber or light light amber. Extremely pleasing malt nose with a tough of citrus hops. Thick rich head that stuck to glass and great malt hop balanvce in the flavor. Perfect mouthfeel and finish that lasted for ever.

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours hazy dark orange/red with a small creamy head, some lace. Smells caramelly, malty sweet, slightly dark fruity. Tastes caramelly sweet malty, mellow sweet earthy hops on the finish. Medium, somewhat syrupy body, good carbonation.

Draft at Pizza Port Carlsbad; Nose of light citrus hops; hazy amber with a small offwhite head; flavor is caramel with some light hop bitterness. Nice looking beer but the nose and flavor are kind of average.
