22oz bottle-pours a rich to rocky white head and gold color. Aroma is sweet citrus-grapefruit/lemon. Taste is sweet citrus-grapefruit/lemon-some bitter, faint light malt. Dry. Good carbonation. Thanks to Stevo for sharing.

Clear light amber with a 1" head. Good scent of fresh floral hops.Medium body. Good taste of cereal grains. lightly toasted malts with a mildly sweet then dry hop flavor to finish. Very fresh from the keg taste here.

btl. A deep golden pour with a goey whte lace and head. Very citrusy (grapefruit) hop aroma. Semi sweet malt presence as well. Sighthly sweet flavor with a good malt profile that lends to the a very nice bitter that is pleasant and lasts. Excellent mouthfeel medium bodied beer with very good carbonation. Crisp clean drinker that is just fine to me.

fresh from joey at southbay. Thanks as always. Pours amber with an oily white head. Aroma of citrus and hops. Flavor is strong pine hops, grapefruit and other citrus, and a nice malty ending. Finishes lightly carbonated, easily drinkable. Wish this was readily available to me.

On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. I had recently drunk a SN Pale Ale and after quite disliking it, I was interested in Alesmith’s take on the style. Poured from the tap into a nonic. 1 finger of white head lingers atop the golden body and leaves some decent lacing. Smells really fresh and floral, with a certain light malt sweetness. Wow, now this is what a pale ale should taste like! Light and clean caramel/biscuit malt sits in perfect balance with a floral hop edge. This has got the legendary Alesmith balance. Everything melds together blissfully, whereas the SNPA tasted like a pine needle sandwich. Goes down really smooth, very fine carbonation, appropriately light body. Sooo easy to drink, great session beer. Good taste and a clean finish.

Light golden in color the beer poured a large head of big bubbles that dissipated. The nose had a mineral edge followed by rock candy, graprefruit and lemon peel. In the mouth the palate is crisp and effervecent that is dry but not very bitter. On the lighter side, this is a refreshing beer that is not very complex or deep.

Provided by kmweaver. Hazy pale body with a medium-sized fluffy white head. Floral and citrus hop nose with grapefruit and sugary sweet pale malts. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter with grapefruit, floral/herbal hops, tangerine, cotton candy and a clean yeast profile. Medium body is round with moderate/high carbonation - spritzy. Nice.

Tap @ the brewery. Pours a nice golden color with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is pine hops. Taste is the same with a slight malt characteristic. The beer is perfectly balanced, with the hops adding to but not taking away from the overall experience. Great beer.
