On tap at Bent River brewpub. Amber with a thin white head and a lively look. Aroma of citrus, sweet malt. A touch over carbonated but decently balanced with a medium spicy and bitter finish.

Slightly hazy amber orange color. Fresh, oily and wet hops, lightly floral and piney with some sweet orange notes as well from a slight presence of some caramel malt. Essentially the same thing as SNPA.

Nice looking, pouring a pale amber body with a frothy white head that does sheet lacing as you drink. It smells of caramel with a touch of toffee covered with tart oranges and tangerines. Very nicely balanced APA, the light citric bitterness matching the sweet malt evenly. Good sessionable material here.

From the tap, served in your standard bar pint glass. Made a good appearance, poured a clear golden hued amber with a foamy beige/off-white head that settled into a thin lacing, good carbonation. Had a big fresh hop nose, spicy, gorse and slightly herbal with a sweet pale maltiness. A crisp, hop textured and smooth light-ish medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Spicy gorse hoppiness, mild, but rolling on the tongue bitterness, a fighting to balance sweet maltiness and a dry tea and gorse flavors lingering in the palate finish. Could be the best brew offered at Bent River, the dry-hopped pale ale is good too, well worth trying.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden color with thin white head. Flowery hop nose and flavor with thin body. Slightly sweet with some bitterness in the finish. So so.

At the brewpub. The poured a dark ornage with a white head. The aroma had iced tea and oranges along with some toffee. The taste was dry with breadcrust and some grapefruit. The finsih was sweet, but the hops character increases as you drink. A decent pale ale.
