I got this in the Trail Mix multi pack. It pours a IPA-like hazy orange amber with little head and slight lacing. It’s aroma is really grassy, and actually not that pleasant. Upon tasting, the mouthfeel is very light, and the flavor is slightly hoppy with a smokey finish. So far after trying 2 of the 6 from Tommyknocker, I am not impressed.

12oz bottle. hazy orange pour with a huge fluffy white head (think I poured it a bit heavy though) and a fair bit of lacing. light citrus and grassy hop aroma. medium tingly mouthfeel. taste is bitter hops, slight nuttiness and apple. crisp and refreshing. a little underrated in my humble opinion.

Bottled@Marty´s. Cloudy amber color, amazing fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is malty and high carbonated. Mouthfeel is dry with a smooth bitterness.

Pours a muted amber color. Pleasing hoppy aroma with a mild hop flavor and some citrus. Refreshing beer.

Hazy amber appearance with an average size, off white head and good lacing. Muted, floral hop aroma. Mild, sweet malts fairly well balanced by the bitter hops with the citrus flavors taking on a passive role. Pretty straightforward with little to set it apart from the crowd.

Light hop aroma. Cloudy orange color with a large white head. Bitter taste fading in the finish. Light palate.

This is definitely one of the better pale ale’s that I’ve tasted in a long time. This poured a light copper color with a generous off-white head. It left a nice amount of lacing around the side of the glass, as well. The aroma was of rich malt with notes of flowerly hops. The body was fairly full with beautiful notes of bitter hops, bread and a touch of barely. The finish was slightly dry with a generous touch of hoppiness and citrus flavors. This was a truley oustanding pale ale!

Fair nose and color, with some hops flavors, but there was an off taste that lowered the rating.
