Tap at El Paso, TX location-pours bright orange with a 1/2 inch fluffy white head. big floral nose but not really all that punchy with lit citrus . flavors are light pine lite citrus with notes of grapefruit and resin. decent little session pale here however, im sure its alot better when its fresh. The beer is basically an SNCA clone with a little more floral action going on. however, in todays world, this doesnt hold a candle to alot of pales out there. body is light and somewhat overcarbonated which bothered me somewhat. too much prickly carbonation which added to the piney aspects being overly apparent. some resin shows up on the finish with lingering floral notes. an ok beer.

Nice hop aroma, poured clean with a clear golden color. Taste made me think light bodied IPA rather than pale ale, good flavor just not too memorable. Refreshing beer, light bodied. Drank as a pre-lunch beer at BJs in Orlando, FL enjoyable for what it was but tons of better options on thier guest taps.

Medium amber pour with a thin cream colored head. Nose and flavor are lightly hopped and caramel malt. Decent.

Your average pale ale. Very hoppy and flowery but it sure goes nice with their buffalo chicken pizza

I like this one. Good hoppy notes to it and with a great floral notes. Lighter in color with a good bite to it.

On tap at BJs and served in a frosty glass (why do they feel they have to do this???) - Clear copper in color and grapefruit and orange for the aroma. Has a nice taste of grapefruit hops but lacking in the body. Has a dry finish.

Looks good in the glass and has a nice grapefruity aroma, but the body and flavor leave something to be desired. Hint of hops in the flavor with a bit of breast malt, but overall pretty watery in mouthfeel and taste.

Some hoppiness and grapefruit but overall it’s a watery mess. thin mouthfeel

Clear golden in color with a foamy laceful head. The aroma is zesty hoppy, with notes of grapefruit and orange juice, and just a smidge of toffee. Taste wasn’t too far from the smell. Hoppy, but not very bitter. Much citrus like orange and grapefruit, with a slightly herbal finish, and a quiet rusty toffee tone and cereal grains throughout the background. Not shabby, but not great. Kinda light.

A relatively basic pale ale. Nice herby smell, and brown color. Taste is a nice mix of malts and hops. Not much aftertaste. Had on tap. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sampler at Arlington, TX location. Comes clear orange gold with a small white head. Aroma of florals, citrus, and malt. Taste is citrus, floral hops, piney hops, and malt. Pretty good.
