12 oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a two finger off white head. The aroma was caramel and earthy notes. The flavor was very malty, with a faint bitter finish.

very bland and average... it was a decent pale ale but nothing fancy to remember - copper color with light head, hoppy fruity, little aftertaste

(Bottle). Clear amber with a small head. Aroma of sweet malt and mildly hoppy. It reaches many notes, like caramel, apples, honey, grass and herbs. Mostly fruity and malty flavor, there is also caramel, honey, and a bit of hops. Bitterness is between light and medium. Nice medium body and dry finish. Good!

Bottle. Average beige like creamy head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Pale amber color. Aroma of light peach, hint of liquorish, floral, light nutty and caramel as well. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light bitter and sweet flavor in balance. Light dry and bitter fruity finish.

Light brown colour with a good off-white head. The aroma is sweet, spicy and malty. The flavour is sweet, malty and nutty. Quite light taste, smooth and some bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.

A great frothy, white head forms when poured from the bottle. Color is copper/amber in color with a med to high carbonation rate. Aroma is fruity with a light apple scent to accent the pale malt sweetness. Flavor has a faint granny smith apple tartness to it, a slight bitter grassy hops middle and ends with a pale malt sweetness. Beer has a little bit of a water feel toward the end of the tasting. Overall beer is pretty good for being hugely produced product will definitely drink again sometime.

Lite pale ale. Much easier to drink than other pale ales from America I have recently tasted. Almost no hops or aroma present.
