(22oz bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of florals, some grapefruit, grass, earth, and toasted grain. Flavor of pine, florals, pineapple, light citrus, and toasted grain with a moderately bitter finish.

22oz bottle, thanks jslot38. Small white head atop crystal clear straw body. Aroma is moderately sweet, peach, orange/grapefruit, light bread. Taste is moderately sweet, pine/grapefruit, peach, some orange. Light-medium body.

Bomber bottle. Poured a clear amber color with an average to large frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate citrus hops and malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and lively carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

22oz bottle. Poured a medium golden/yellow color with a large sized white head. Aromas of citrus, toasty, floral hops, and grains. Tastes of citrus, floral, and I was getting an orange zest.

Bomber. Very pale golden pour with a thick white head. The nose is quite bright and fruity with a nice lemon peel citrus flavour. Soft of soft and a little bit of cascadey citrus hops. As it warms, the hops sort of shift from herbal to citrusy with a nice assertive hoppiness. Bright and zesty with an almost lemon verbena character to the hops. Very bright and zesty with a lot of nice soft hoppiness. The beer is appropriately dry with a bit of tropical pineapple character. Lingering soft bitterness. It’s a decent soft hoppy IPA.

Bottle labeled as Buckeye Cleveland Bling Bling Pale thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with an amber body with a tan fading head. Aroma of sugar, orange, wheat and some pine. Taste is pine, caramel, light citrus and dry. Light bubbles. Not a bad pale.

My Bottom Line:
Crisp, soft pale malts build delicate biscuity notes alongside this American Pale Ale’s elegant piney and grapefruity hops for a most delicious pint of Americana.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam decorates the translucent golden.
-This may not be super complex, but I have trouble imagining a more satisfying Pale Ale. Malts and hops are beautifully developed and cohesive.
-This is woefully underrated. Not intense enough for the Ratebeer crowd?
-Balance exists throughout and interest is thus kept from aroma to aftertaste.

Bottle.

Enjoyable pale ale, with understated orange taste that is very drinkable. Slight orange coloured body with a little off-white head. Hoppy aroma.Average mouthfeel.

Bottle courtesy of jslot38, thanks! Bright golden color. Nice aroma of pine and malt. Taste was ordinary and lager-like.
