3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle to glass. Poured a great gold color, slightly cloudy with a solid white head. Good lacing with some head remaining throughout the drink. Good hop aroma, slight grainy smell as well, but had my mouth watering! The taste wasn’t as good as the smell, malty, bitter, but nothing special. Body was good and finished quickly. Not a first choice, but definitely will drink again!
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours hazy amber in color with a brief head. The aroma is mild. An understated hint of malt and not much else. The flavor is better. Grainy, fairly rich malt with a little hop punch at the swallow and some bitter finish. Not a great beer, but a pretty good one.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a dark hazy gold with nice two-finger off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves behind a lot of sticky lace.
Aroma is of pale malt with a little citrus. Not very interesting in the nose department.
The flavor is good. light sweetness, medium bitterness, a bit biscuity. Definitely good but no real wow factor.
This beer has a light body though is a bit creamy and sticky. It has lively carbonation and a long dry finish.
All in all this is not one of Bell’s best. However, even the worst beer from one of the best breweries in the world is still worth a try. Not an outstanding pale ale but still a decent beer.

Bottle thanks to Sarah. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a really musty grain and biscuit note with just a bit of grassy hoppiness. Flavor is similar with musty grains and biscuits with just a touch of grassy hops and wet wood.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle pour from a build your own 6 pack. A bit lackluster due to weak hops.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange color with a half finger of white head. Aroma of malts up front with a nice floral hop balance. Taste mimics the nose, with a nice mild bitterness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasted from a 12oz. bottle. Poured a hazy golden, with a white frothy head. A tasty, well hoped pale ale

If this were classified as a pale lager, (brewing methodology not withstanding) it would be decent, but as an APA, it is a lackluster. Pours a hazy gold, with a light frothy head. Slightly citrus nose with a more yeast/bread note. Refreshing on the tongue, with a spicy, hop finish. There are days, especially a hot summer day, when I just want a cold, refreshing beer "without having to think about" as my friend Don likes to say. Fits that category pretty well
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A decent beer. Definitely a spicy finish. Could drink a few, not the best pale ale, but worth a try.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours hazy golden with minimal head, light citrus, bread aroma that follows through in taste with a light spicy character. Very common, uninspiring
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Grainy malty base, a hint of sweetness, and lighter flowery hoppy notes. Not bad.
