16 ounce can. Pours reddish orange with a decent white head. Aroma of citrus, malt, and florals. Taste is oranges, malt, caramel, and spice. Pretty good.

Serving: from tap at 7 Seas Brewing. Aroma: wet wool and Cheerios. Appearance: small, rocky, off-white, initial head with fair lacing and fully diminishing longevity. Hazy, dark-amber body. Taste: lightly sweet initial flavor and grapefruit-like, sour finish with average duration. Palate: light bodied with watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Overall: I couldn’t get past the aroma.

Hazy copper coloured body with an orange glow and a thinnish, one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of nice toasted malt, earthy hops, a bit of caramelised sugars and a hint of cherries and fruit. Medium-bodied; Strong earthy malts up front with a little sweetness, a hint of fruit and not much else - fairly mild at the end. Aftertaste shows a bunch more earthiness and alcohol and a bit more sugars - fairly nice to finish. Overall, a relatively nice and refreshing beer with some good tastes for the style, but not a complex or great beer - on the more caramel and fruity side of EPAs, but nice. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Whole Foods in Seattle (WestLake), Washington on 08-February-2013 for US$2.99 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 27-February-2013.

Pint can. Pours copper with a medium, bubbly head. The aroma is honey, floral hops, pine, and corn. The flavor is mild bitterness and a good malty sweetness. Medium body, with a velvety, silky feel. Overall, this is a good, well balanced pale ale. Nothing special or complex, but tasty.

This brew pours a clear copper-orange color with a medium thick and frothy white head that diminishes slowly. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malt, floral hops and citrus. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, hops, and fruit. The finish is sweet with a lingering malty aftertaste. Above average all around.

can 5/12/12. orange with a clingy ow head. a+f= orange, bubblegum, candy, flowers, pale malt. crisp and easy drinking on the ends but odd in between.

473ml can pours a hazy golden color with 3 fingers of frothy white head which left some spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of cereal grains and hops. Malty sweetness with a pleasing earthy hop bitterness in the finish. A fine example of a British pale ale which I enjoyed tasting.

Can thanks to Mike. Pours a clear orange color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet biscuit and oranges. The flavor is very smooth and light; sweet citrus hops, light spiciness, toasted malt. Easy drinking. Not bad.

My Bottom Line:
Crisp toasted malts overcome this Pale Ale’s lightly vegetal aspects, while honeyed sweetness completes the decoy.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the light copper clarity.
-Mineral edges bother the flavor profile a tad.
-Hope were not well expressed, especially in the aroma.
-The slender body made this nonetheless drinkable.

On tap at Naked City.

Tap in Seattle in February. Amber with a thin head. Light cinamon spiced pale ale.
