Pours with an off-white fizzy head covering a clear copper body. Areoma is a tad metallicy, with grapes and its more malty than hoppy. Taste is malty with some DMS and a corny aftertaste. Pretty watery. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown with a decent white head that fades some. The taste is of caramel, malt and is somewhat sweet. Fairly bitter. The aroma matches the taste. A pretty good beer as it is tasty and very easy to drink. Is a nice treat to have when it is on sale and is pretty nice to have when it isn’t.

Bottle bought at the State Store in Murray, Utah. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head that goes down to next to nothing. The aroma is sweet malts and some caramel The taste is pretty smooth; a semi-sweet malt base with some nutty and fruit flavors. Pretty light, but easygoing and unoffensive. Decent.

Bottle pours clear golden/copper with thin white head. Aroma is malt and hops. First taste is sweet malt then slight hops bitterness. Really well balanced. Watered down a little which makes for a clean finish. Verry underated pale ale.

The beer pours a light amber with a thick white head. The nose is light; mixed of fruity and dry spice. The pallet is watery. The taste is light with malts some hops and light spice. I very underwhelming beer.
