Commercial Description:
A copper colored West Coast style Pale ale. A little hoppier than other American Style pale ales, this starts off with a little bite then allows the malt through just before the floral finish (from the hops). Made with all your favorite American Centennial and Cascade hops. Approx. 5.3% Alc/Vol.

This beer fucking sucks, I have nothing positive at all to say about it. But I guess this is growing up. Also it has a gigantic head that never subsides. Super shady.

Murky amber color with a thick white head. Musky dirty hop aroma with slight citrus notes. Overcarbonated. Weak hop flavor with an astringency that overpowers the malts.

On tap. Clear amber golden with a white head. Medium body, some caramel, a little fruit and a somewhat raw and unrefined hoppy finish. Unspectacular. 090709

From tap at the brewery. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Orange and mango fruity hoppy aroma. Light malt base and fruity hoppy flavoured. Bitter and fruity flavoured finish.

Bottle. Poured the standard amber color, head thins quickly. Didn’t detect much in the way of aroma. Flavor was kind of bland, too. The bottle had been on ice so it may have opened up more after sitting a while. I was a little disappointed.

22oz bottle 4/7/09 (BevMo-Torrance)-Pours a slightly hazy orangish amber. Aroma of hops and floral. Flavor of hops, malt, grains, and more hops. This medium bodied brew was quite tasty and nicely balanced.

Fruity, hoppy aroma. Taste is citrusy with a hint of caramel malt, especially as it warms up. Not bad. Lets say this is a better pale ale than their IPA is an IPA. If that makes any sense.

On cask @ The Hopyard, Pleasanton. All in all better than their IPA. Lots of nutty, bready flavors. Very foamy, creamy mouthfeel. It works much better as a cask ale than on regular tap.
