growler... pale that’s more like an ipa, but even taken like an ipa nothing is right with this beer... the aroma is off, way to malty, grass, biscuits... the taste is very blah, tough to drink, boring, all malt boring hops

GT2 (3942) - Washington DC, USA - MAY 21, 2012
Tap at 7venth Sun. Low haze straw pour with webby, white lace. Nose is super rich Amarillo hops, buttery toffee, caramel, fresh and rich dichotomy. Taste is nutty, rich, butterscotch, loads of the elusive "quenching" malty character found in Alesmith IPA, original batch Ballast Point Sculpin, a few others. Oily, rich palate. No astringency, no tannins, no heavy sugar body, no aggressive bitterness. A masterpiece IPA. Really at this abv, it should be moved to IPA from APA.

Travlr (5359) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - MAY 19, 2012
Draft at the source. Hazy orange color. Aroma of orange peel and white bread. Taste is nice citrus, flowers. Best pale ale I’ve had for a long, long time.

jcartamdg (254) - Spring Hill, Florida, USA - MAY 17, 2012
Copper color with a two finger head that sticks around leaving great lacing behind. Aroma of strong citrus notes, dank hops and pure deliciousness! Taste follows the nose bitter but with a decent malt backbone, slightly sweet but very slightly not too much. This is a great pale ale the boarders on ipa. Really showcases the Amarillo hop. Easy and smooth beer, hides alcohol well. I want more!

Several times at the tasting room, nice crisp tasting Pale Ale, can’t believe it’s nearly 7%! Nothing too strong in the aroma, just right for me, the appearance is a golden colour with a nice head, tastes of citrus and hoppy. Great beer overall!!

StPeteBeerMan (23) - St Petersburg, Florida, USA - APR 13, 2012
Pours a light golden with thin white. Sweet spicy and citrusy scent, very pungent for a pale ale. Citrus hops up front with spicy dry finish in a medium body beer. Overall an excellent pale ale.

Thorpe429 (3823) - Alexandria, Virginia, USA - APR 9, 2012
Growler courtesy of drabmuh. Served in a 7venth Sun tulip. Pours a clear yellow with a good white head and some spotty lacing on the way down. Looks great. Nose has some slight floral and citrus notes with some grain there as well. A bit too much straight malt and extract there and carrying over to the flavor. Good Hops in the background. Light and crisp with some bitterness and tannin. Pretty good.

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 6, 2012
Hazy light amber with a good rich head. Big, weedy amarillo nose. Rich bitterness, very dry with just a slight sweetness late. Very refreshing.

burg326 (1056) - Florida, USA - MAR 27, 2012
On tap at the brewery, poured a dark orange, almost amber color with aromas of pine resin, spice, pepper, grains, and citrus. Flavor of orange, pine, coriander, and hops finish on the palate.

BigSound (149) - New York, USA - MAR 26, 2012
From notes. Pours a nice copper with a pretty thin white head. Pretty nice lacing. Nice hoppy aroma, the citrus really shines, I also get some sweet fleshy fruit. Great taste, getting close to an IPA, nice citrus hops with some tropical fruit, tangirne and orange. Just a little sweetness in there. Medium body for a pale ale, fairly vibrant carbonation.

Golden pour, white head. Aroma of citrus hops, some coriander notes and oranges. Flavor is strong satsuma and hops. Nice stuff.
