Jun 29, 2009 Pours a golden color with an average head. The aroma is wonderful for a pale, piney citrus, & a little fruity. In fact I love smelling this beer. Taste is a great balance of malt & hops with the bitterness kicking in the end. Very high IBU for a pale & as hoppy as a pale ale can get.

Jun 27, 2009 On tap at Barleys Taproom in Greenville, SC. Dark orange in color with a thin white head. Strong hop aroma of pine and citrus. Flavor is great balance of malt and hops. Slightly fruity, with some citrus. Hoppy and moderate bitterness. This isn’t as strong as IPA or DIPA, but it’s not supposed to be. This is just a damn good, balanced, and flavorful Pale Ale that I wish I could drink on a regular basis back home.

Jun 25, 2009 12 oz can. Deep orange in color with an off white thick head. Big floral hop aroma with hints of citrus, pine, and caramel. The flavor is pretty much the perfect balance of sweet malt and bitter hops. This beer is medium bodied and has an active carbonation and a soft mouth feel. I love to see great beers being canned, the portability of cans are great, especially in the summer. Overall this beer is about as good as a Pale Ale can get in my opinion,

Jun 23, 2009 From a 12 oz. can at Coasters (but poured into a glass, of course). Dark orange pour with a thin white head. Aroma of pine, grass, and light pineapple. The aroma does fade quickly, however. Bitter, grapefruit hop aroma. It is still a pale ale and doesn’t pack the punch that I really like from an IPA. But as far as a pale ale goes they don’t get much better.

Jun 21, 2009 Hazy, deep orange color. Lively head leaves some lacing. A lavender soapy smell dominates the aromas, though a little citrus is present, too. Bitter, full palate. Soapy hops, grassy up front and finishing more acidic. Almost creamy. The value in this beer is the true hop characte

Jun 21, 2009 Hoppy aroma. Very hoppy taste. Slightly malty palate. Overall, a quality and quite smooth brew, but overly bitter (let the past go, my friend).

Jun 20, 2009 Pours mostly clear orange, frothy beige head. Molasses and pine aroma, seems very thick. Taste is a great combination of rish toasted malt and bold hops. Very well balanced and finishes nicely.

Jun 17, 2009 Wow what a pale ale! Poured this one out of the can and into a pint glass. Although just as enjoyable for me from the can on a hot summers day. On the nose I get nice strong hops upfront with slight malt in there. Almost like an IPA. Medium bodied. A big american pale ale! Mouthfeel is great very smooth. On the palate I am getting a nice bitter hop flavor, slight malts, some citrus and floral notes there. Just an awesome APA. Widely availalbe and not a bad price either, especially for the 12 packs! Get it!
