Nice beer. Goes down smooth and has a good taste. Not as dry as some pale ales.

12oz bottle. Hazy golden-tan color beneath an off white head. Toasty, sweet aroma, fresh and a touch of hoppy astringency. A very straightforward APA, earthy and flowery. Crisper and a touch lighter malt-wise than most APAs, giving it a pleasant sessionability. Nice and refreshing, with some citrus edges in the solid hop bill. A really well done APA, deliciously medium bodied.

Pours clear golden with plenty of white head. Lots of bubbles. The nose seems to feature lots of bisuity malts with a bit of earthy hops. I bit more hop character in the flavor, but still plenty of hop. This really seems to be perfectly balanced. Medium body and very dry. Totally refreshing. So easy to drink.

Pours with a thick head, two fingers worth into a pint glass. Hazy orange color with some bubbles bringing the bottom of the bottle yeast to the top. Lemony citrus smell that is hard to pick up on. Some tasty hop flavor comes through on this and mixes great with the maltiness to give a slightly bitter slightly sweet taste. Impressive. This one seems very sessionable and I wish I had more than one.

Nice golden honey color with a thin white head. Nose is hoppy. Mouthfeel is vey creamy. Hops predominate taste but malt and grains come through too. Very nice aftertaste, dry and flavorful. A very good pale ale that pairs well with a variety of foods, especially smoked salmon or roast pork or fowl.

Bottle. Pours an average sized, frothy, off-white head with a clear, golden body. Light malt aromas accompanied by crisp, citrusy hops...some orange and a bit of pine. Light, refreshing, somewhat sweet body with average carbonation and a bitter finish. Overall a very drinkable, refreshing summertime beer. Nothing complicated, but in this case that’s a good thing.

Clear gold pour, soapy looking head. Aroma has some nice hops. Pine and citrus even a bit of floral hops. Flavor is a bit sweet with some citrus, grass and caramel.

bottle - Pours hazy yellow-orange with a one finger white head. It has an enjoyable aroma of hops with grapefruit and other citrus fruits. The flavor is moderately hopped with citrus notes. It’s sweet, but the caramel malt character is weak until it warms up considerably. Crisp hops lingers pleasantly in the finish.
