3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap. For a low ABV beer, this is pretty damned good. The beer poured to a golden straw colored body with a white head. Decent retention all around and nice density. The beer was like a mild in that there was tons of aroma and flavor packed into a session-able beer. Hoppy aromas of grass, flowers, and pine. Flavor was like a mild pale ale with lots of hops, no bitterness, decent amounts of malt. Very mild overall. The palate was "thin", but it’s caused by it’s session-ability at 4.4%.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Tyler’s, Durham. Cloudy straw gold pour with a nice frothy carbonation. Dry grassy aroma with a little bloom of fruit in there. Mouthfeel is medium, slightly prickly with a dry finish. Flavors aren’t quite what you’d like them to be, with both malt and hop profiles relatively muted in favor of a singular grassy dry note. Pleasant enough for what it is, I suppose, but I’d hoped for more character.

Draft.. clear light amber with a nice white head... light hoppy aroma, kinda bland... light pine, some very light citrus, toasty... fairly watery... given the abv and purpose, this is a good english pale, hoped for a little more pungent aroma/flavor from AV...
