A hop forward pale ale in the British style, piney hops are represented well in the aroma. Full mouthfeel with a long hoppy finish. Malts are earthy with a slight mushroom character.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at BCBB, Durham. Nice that their flagship brew is one of their better offerings to date. Light orange pour with a honeyed look at its center, topped by a fairly thick creamy head. Nose had some mild fruits and a faint bready character amidst the more promiment hops, almost like a hoppy biere de garde on some level. Mouthfeel was a bit under-developed but not watery. Flavors were more floral than anticipated, not as APA-ish as expected. Balanced and quite drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clean amber gold pour with one finger of creamy off white head. Lightly hoppy nose, very balanced and restrained. Grassy with a lightly sweet citrusy character. Nice balanced bitterness. Medium body and carbonation.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Lightly hazed orange amber. Very light florals, some caramel, toast. Body is extremely light and doesn’t have much hop or malt character. Its just there. Need to choose a direction (hop or malt forward) and go with it. Needs work.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Straw yellow pour with small white head. Aroma of some citrus and hops. Flavor was very thin, metallic, and watery, with a hint of said hops. To more tasted more like a lager than a pale ale, which is not a compliment by any means.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at the brewery. Copper color with a medium white head. Thin aroma of fresh hops, a little grassy with some citrus. Flavor starts off with sweet malts and caramel, then finishes quickly with a citrus/sweet hop bite. A clean, easy drinking pale ale that paired perfectly with the best hot dog ever made.
