Cloudy amber body with an off-white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, pine. Taste is medium sweet, earthy/grapefruit, light caramel. Light-medium body.

On tap @ Henry’s Tavern, Portland. Clear yellow/orange with a white head. Aroma of citrus, toast, flowers and light pine. Flavor is a great balance of rich malt and bitter hops. Light body with average carbonation and a clean, creamy mouth feel. Solid Pale, nothing great or bad about it but very drinkable.

Tap at the brewery. Light gold pour with a creamy white head. Musty earthy hop aroma. Smooth crisp malt body with a hint of citrus hop bite. Decent brew.

Faint trace of spicy hops under a cereal like aroma. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. A pilsner and wheat flavor, with no hops and a quick finish. Lighter mouthfeel with low carbonation. Ok as a beer, but probably not worth seeking out.

Sampled on tap at the brewpub. Pours a translucent orange, amber with zero head. Nose is very mild, lightly sweet, light malt, light citrus. Flavor is sweet, malty, caramel, oranges, orange candies without being too sweet, light citrus, very light pine. Medium bodied, lightly sweet.

Grassy hop aroma with some subtle citrus, accompanied with a bit of sweet malt support. Light golden color, slightly haze, medium low carbonation and little lacing. Bitter blast up front with slight astringency. Low malt sweetness. Bitter all the way through. Medium light body, medium carbonation to palate, dry finish. Nice session beer with prevailing bitterness.

nice thirst quencher. not much hops. a little carbonated. almost English style.

A good 50 IBU pale ale is good and hoppy. Does give a dusty, sort of dirt flavor to the beer, it works well with the dryer hops.
