Pours a bit darker than expected, looks wonderful. Smells hoppy with hints of citrus fruit. Taste is malty, very citrusy, crisp, incredibly easy to drink. This gets me excited for Sierra Nevada’s IPA. Really complete, excellent tasting beer that’s unbelievably easy to drink. A-level beer.

One of the best widely available beers in the US. I love the strong hoppy aroma and complex taste.

Bottle - Pours a clear light amber color. Medium white head. Nice lacing. Mild hoppy aroma. Good grassy crisp flavor. Lots of hops. Good mouthfeel. Very refreshing. Would much rather be drinking an IPA, but overall have to give this one high marks for drinkability.

330ml bottle. Thoroughly enjoyable ale that refreshes well and has a nice balance. Good smooth taste, slips down well, and decent balanced amount of carbonation. Tasty.

Pours a nice light copper color with off white head. Nice hoppy aroma. Very similar flavor, just the right amount of hop punch for an American pale.

An everyday american pale ale that goes well as a session beer or a thirsty quencher on a sunny day.

Tried this at a local bistro. Suprisingly smooth and well balanced. I thought the color was just about near perfect, my first impression. I’d buy this for the house.
