Decent aroma and appearance, but the taste was not appealing at all, couldn’t even finish the bottle

From the new cans, which look nice. Slightly hazy light golden color with a nice white head that left some lace. Mostly malt on the aroma. Doughy and pleasant. The flavor has more hops, which lend a nice fruity aspect and a bitter finish. Nice malt backbone too. Very simple, but very solid. Overall: way over priced at $10 and change for a sixer, but worth a try.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a fluffy white head. Light hoppy aroma, with floral and citric notes. Balanced flavor with pale malts and floral hops. Decent.

from a can, pours a really pale gold with a thick frothy head that was bubbly and settled to a lumpy cap. the eggshell white head produced some delicate lacing. the body is a slightly brackish oarnge that had very few bubbles rising up. the aromas are slightly malty and hoppy. there is also some citrus and pine in the nose. it is light bodied and has a watery mouthfeel and not so plesent hop taste. i love my hoppy beers, but something is weird with this one. has some grass in the taste, citrus, slight hops, and a week malt backbone. it finishes watery and the aftertaste is not that strong.

A good American style pale. Golden body,white foam, with pleasant citrus aroma. Taste is some citrus and a good bitterness, good malting for drinkability. Bit above average mouthfeel. A hint of acid in the aftertaste, but that is tolerable.Nice balance

Bottled. Poured clear, bright golden with a short cap of whitish head. The aroma picked up honey and toasted pale malts accented by some pine, earth, and grapefruit.. semi-sweet with a spicy overall character. The flavor was led by spicy pine and citrusy bitterness over a base of sweet toffee and bready malts.. residual sugars, pine, and citrus bitterness on the finish.. some of the hops seemed a bit degraded, but not that bad. Light-medium bodied with a spicy presence from the hops on the palate.. didn’t quite flow right between the hops and the grainy sugars.

It poured a hazy golden liquid with a medium white foam. Smell and taste of fruity and grassy hops, a bit sweet as well. Light body and medium bitterness.

Golden with white frothy head. Bread, fruit, and must aroma. Citrus, patchouli, and bready flavours. Balanced and refreshing.
