Can. Pours a clear copper bronze with a lasting head. Aroma is floral and soapy. Flavor is dominated by citrus hops with little balance from the malts. Somewhat astringent and metallic. Not one of my favorites.

Macon, Ga - Wine Styles Liquor Store - 12 oz can. Pours a sparkling medium copper with a light but persistent off-white head. Nice spruce-like aroma with some floral accents. Flavor has a nice subtle bitterness to it with some light minty accents, some faint spicy notes. Brief nutty accents round it out nicely. Mouthfeel has a nice crispness to it. Very decent.

Can. Amber pour with a white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus hops, and Honey with a little spice in the nose. Taste has a caramel malt character with and a little toffee. I’m a fan of this beer.

Aroma is a mix of caramel malts and citrus hops. The flavor is caramel/biscuit malts, citrus and a medium dry/bitter finish.

Light amber with little white head. Nose of grass, juicy oranges, bubblegum, white bread. Medium body with good, lively carbonation. Muted flavors of clover, grapefruit, honey, and fresh ripe berries. Nice, lasting bitter finish. Very good for the style and ABV.

Orange-gold with big, foamy, white head / Smooth, mellow nose of cream, soap, pine, citrus, and bubblegum / Light to medium body, again creamy and smooth with good hop bite, balance and nicely bitter finish / Flavors of cream, pine, and slightly cooked orange and grapefruit / There is nothing remarkable about this pale, just solid on all points and a near-perfect mild session ale.

Nice clear gold with good lacing head. Slightly musky hops. Fairly light body. Pretty refreshing. Nice beer. Would be great football season beer.

A super tall head right out of the can and a nice clear amber color. very little in way of carbonation. Aroma is fantastic with a bold citrus bouquet. Malts are secondary. Its all about the hops here. Super hop flavor while not being overly bitter. Good malts tone down the bitterness just a bit. Smooth and clean with good body. It’s amazing that there is as much flavor here as one might expect from an IPA or DIPA. Easy drinker

Pretty good American Pale Ale. Even better session beer. Always great stuff from 21st amendment.

Dark orange pour with a LOT of head. Some awesome lacing as well. Smell is weak but good...grass, hops and alcohol. Taste is bitter and spiced hops. Lack of alcohol is quite deceptive. Excellent example of a pale ale.

Pleasant citrus and grassy aroma. Light bitter taste and smooth mouth feel that finishes dry. Very seasonable beer, very tasty so overall this is a winner.
