Commercial Description:
A hoppy, dry ale featuring a fantastic bouquet of Cascade hops in the nose. Deep gold in color with a tight, snow white head and pronounced hop flavor. Extensive "dry hopping imparts a strong hop aroma from the essential oils without imparting excessive bitterness.

Dark gold amber colored body with a bright white head. The nose is walnut flesh with some sweet potatoes and a little bit of raw bread dough. The taste is largely bitter orange peels with burnt bread crust and notes of apple core. There is also some black pepper spice in the finish, but it is light. Overall a decent light pale ale, but the doughy notes are a little more than I like in an APA.

bottled. A typical pale ale w/ fresh hop flavor & a quality dry hop linger. Exceeded expectations. Brought home from Gatlinburg.

I had this on tap at the brewpub in TN but didn’t take tasting notes beyond the numbers, unfortunately. I was there with my fiancee and she gets bored with my details.

Deep golden color, aroma of sweet malt. I had pretty low expectations for this since their IPA is mediocre, at best. But this is an enjoyable refreshing beer. A good balance of hops and malt, just a good flavorful, balanced brew, nothing out of this world, but solid.

A pretty good pale ale, probably my favorite of their lineup. a bit watery at the end, is my only detraction. piney citrus and floral hops, nice.

Sample at Calhoun’s, Knoxville, TN. pours golden, white head. aroma is citrusy hops with barnyard/grassy elements. Taste, hoppy, light spices, grainy with a faint malty and citrus finish.

From tronraner via trade. The pour was light copper with a one-finger tall white head and decent lacing. The aroma was malty, light citrus and stale hops. The flavor was light citrus over iced tea and earthy, pine hops. Super bitter and dry on the finish.

Received a single 12-oz bottle via trade with lithy. Pours a clear golden light amber colored brew with a creamy off-whtie head that quickly dissipates to a bubbly top. Aroma of toasted golden grain malt, some grassy hops, and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is light to medium body, some carbonation with flavors of roasted golden grain malt, some dry hops character and a touch of citrus. Finish is semi-dry with a grassy hops and crisp aftertaste.
