Commercial Description:
We Consider this an extreme version of an American Pale Ale. It has a very up front floral and citrus aroma from a late cascade addition and dry hopping with Amarillo. This beer also has a big malt background to balance the bitterness of the hops. The rye malt cleans up your palette after you swallow so the hop flavor does not stick in your mouth too long.
Now available in bottles.

A touch of nice sourness may be this beers only important characteristic to make it slightly better than the average beer. Not much to say about the rest of its qualities.

Pours a copper with a thin creamy light amberish head. The aroma is sweet, you can smell the hop resin, pine/citrus hops, nice hop profile for a pale ale. Bitter taste, less than an IPA though. Nice solid taste, plenty of character, but leans toward a session brew.

The color was a dark galden. The head was fizzy, off white, and thin. The aroma was light citris. The flavor was clean, slightly bitter with a bite, and hoppy. The palate was thin bodied but smooth. The finish was bitter.

A straight forward pale ale, yet its exceptional in its style and flavors. Balanced between the malts and hops. quite a dry flavor. easy to drink.

The aroma has lightly toasted, sweet malt with caramel and citrus hops. The appearance is coper gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is this but smooth from carbonation. The aftertaste is malty and hoppy. Overall it’s a really good beer.

12oz bottle reveals a rich amber head complimented by a cream-colored head. aromas of thicker caramel creamy malts, vanilla, and heavier flora just about cover the bases here. typical pine from this pale, also notable clove and not-so-notable bitterness. the rye adds an interesting twist on the finish. not too terribly long, but rather smooth for the pale style.

Citrus aroma with hints of hops. Nice mixture of malts and hops. Very smooth.
