[Drank next to a Sierra Pale]

Taste is stinging yeasty bread dough and flour with solid stinging aftertaste.
Good pale ale, but not as good as the Sierra.

12 oz bottle picked up in South Dakota as a sample box. This one surprised me. Very good IPA with decent flavors of hops and citrus. Some caramel sweetness detected which balanced out the minimal bitterness I detected.

12 oz. bottle from mreusch. Thanks Matt. Pours a slightly hazy light amber color with a medium lasting creamy off white head. Visable carbonation. The aroma is mainly caramel malt and hops. The flavor is a mix of light fruitiness, light hoppy bitterness, and Lipton tea. Light/medium mouthfeel. Not much going on. It is drinkable on yet another Saturday of 90 degree temps and high humidity.

12oz bottle: Pours a cloudy dark golden. The head is solid but resolves into a crown of ivory foam. The flavor is a little fruity with hints of hops. Overall a decent PA but not exceptional.

Bottle from trade at NEPA case split club. This is okay. It has a pleasant finish that has a touch of citrus, some bitter hops and decent carbonation. I wouldn’t say well hopped as the hops seem to sink rather than swim. I don’t know if its water or the yeast which does this. The aroma is better than the flavor as it has a floral quality to it which stands out more than the flavors which I had to dig for a bit. Overall, a solid but not interesting brew.

Bottle conditioned, so pass on the draft and get it in the bottle. Very drinkable, not outstanding. Based in Kansas City, only available within a few hundred miles.
