2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Yellow-tinted amber wtih a quickly fizzling head. Pleasant, but light, floral hop aroma. Decently balanced with a light fruity hop flavor, moderately bittered. Acidic citric bitter finish without any solid backing. Just OK.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Golden hue with a small fizzy head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of grassy and floral hops, pale and bready malts, light note of grapefruit and apple, some veggie esters as well. The taste is rather straight forward, mildly bitter with a good balance of malt character. Some subdued pepper and yeast flavors as well. A very faint finish, some lingering bitterness. The feel is lievly at first but seems to lose a punch as I drink it. A beginner pale ale, accessible and not too complex. My dad liked it and the reason I bought the sample pack.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a copper color with little head. Floral hop and malt aroma had me thinking I was in for a delictable treat! Perhaps a new favorite session beer? Not at all. The floral hop aroma did not lead to a hoppy flavorful beer at all. Very thin and water finish. I’ll pass on this in the future.

This is a lighter pale ale. I am not sure why it is designated as an American; it has the floral and fruit elements common to an IPA. The hops are underwhelming, but that makes it accessible to more drinkers. Not bad.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pour is a nice copper color with a white head. Aroma is a nice mix of hops and malts. The problem is in the flavor. Nothing stands out. Where are the hops? Finishes watery and bland.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A fairly average pale ale-tasting kind of pale ale. Nothing special but certainly inoffensive, and for the price, pretty nice.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle poured golden with a short offwhite head. Aroma of slight grapefruit. Flavor is bread wrapped around an orange basically. On the palate this is fairly balanced, light and carbonated. Pretty fair for a hot day but there are much better pale ales out there.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Decent pale ale, not too bitter which I like. Decent flavor, nice and hoppy along with good carbonation and color. Plus its wisconsin made.
