Pint at the brewpub. Pours a copper shade with a small head. This is a straightforward pale ale. Aroma is medium with decent hops, but not strong by any means. Malts are inoffensive and allow what hops are here to come through more. This is average, not standout at all. I’d be alright having this session readily available to me though.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours amber/copper with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malt and floral/pine hops. Flavor is mainly caramel and pine flavors, with some light fruits and a bit of bitterness in the background. Moderately hoppy, with a focus on aromatic hops. Not much carbonation. Could be a bit too sweet for some, but pretty good overall.

Amber coloured beer with almost no carbonation and a very small off white head. Light malty and refreshing fruity hinted aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is bitter sweet with some malty touches. Ok, but nothing special.

on tap-pours an off white head and gold color. Aroma is light/medium malt-caramel, secondary pine/floral. Taste is light/medium malt-caramel, secondary pine/floral, slight hops bite.

Pours a nice copper color with a khaki head. Aroma is caramel, a touch of fruit, and floral. Flavor is malty, fruity, and a nice floral finish.

Went by Public Transportation Pale Ale. clearly more malt, reddish golden, some lacing, no head, some faint cherries, pineapples, round full taste, with modest bitter finish. Ok but not great for style

Draft sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper color with a medium head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma of earthy, bitter hops with a faint caramel maltiness.
