12oz bottle. Cloudy orange color. Thin white head. Aroma of malt, pine and citrus. Flavor has a rich caramel sweetness, followed by a fairly bold hop bitterness. a very impressive American Pale Ale.

Taste: 9/8 Bottle(date?) Looks: Clear pale gold, very little head. Aroma: A little pine and floral, caramel malt sweetness/ some yeast sour/biscuit. Taste: A little weak in ingredients, not much body. A little metallic. Not much point to drink this again.

All malt, amber ale aroma is not promising. Pretty decent and drinkable taste. Light piney hop flavor, but way more caramel malt. Lightly bitter taste and finish. Don’t expect a pale ale flavor, this is much closer to an amber ale or even a dark lager.

12 oz. Clear, burnt orange-amber with a small, lasting creamy head. Aroma is grapefruit, molasses and resin. Flavor is a nice balance of orange, resin, caramel, cocoa, walnut, and dried wood. Light-medium body is kinda smooth, but still tingly with carbonation. Gets frothier and turns to bubbly air on the swallow. The bubbly finish is really the only small flaw with this otherwise tasty and sessionable beer. Kind of surprised by the low ratings.

Columbia, SC - Total Wines - 12 oz bottle. Light orange, murky pour with a clingy, but light white head. Grainy aroma with brief piney notes. Flavor kind of muddled with some peach marmalade notes, a bit of underlying bitter citrus and some caramel. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky. Loses a bit of its luster in the finish.

The aroma has floral hops and grain. The appearance is amber with a large head. The flavor is bitter and like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall a pretty good session beer but it has a weed like aftertaste.

The aroma was lightly citrusy with a fruity nature. Woodsy and lightly grassy with a bit of an earthy presence. The beer was nicely malty with some caramel aroma. The beer arrived clear golden with a white lasting frothy head which laced the glass. The flavor was slightly sweet with caramel and candy and a citrusy nature much like those candy orange slices. The flavor also had some lemon character. The beer was nicely bittered with a lasting citrus into the aftertaste. The finish was dry. The body was medium with a moderate level of carbonation and a creamy texture on the palate. An OK pale ale. Pint at 299 in Spartanburg.
