Gold, thin white head. Nose is caramel, piney hops, very light caramel, some fruit. Flavor is grass & pine, caramel, a bit of cheese. Some meladonins come through in the finish with brown sugar & pine.

Copper in appearance with some slight red. Medum sized off-white head. Aroma is of yeasty bread with flowery and fruity hops. The taste is slightly sweet with a good balance of bitterness in the finish. Well carbonated for nice and easy drinking.

Very nice looking with a super fresh soapy soft mouthfeel. A thin aroma of grassy and citrus hops. Flavor is fairly sweet with an odd woody vegetal bitterness. Also pine and grapefruit notes. Maybe it is my palate today but otherwise always a pleasure to find on tap.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a reddish color with a small head
The aroma is a bunch of fruit forward hops, some catty aromas (in a good way) and some pine. This is not without some well controlled caramel and malty character.
The flavor is nicely bitter & more spicy and grapefruity than anything. The caramel is notably lower in the flavor than the aroma but there is a good presence of toasty malt.
Pretty Delicious.

Tap @ FG with Erica. Pours dark, hazy yellow into shaker with small white head. Solid, medium-heavy hop profile in the aroma and palate. Not extremely bitter - fresh hop taste. A bit of bright citrus in there, and some more piney hop character. Very fresh, as the name suggests. Great pale ale.

12 oz. Bottle! Pours a dark amber color with a thick head that fades eventually. Crisp and hoppy. Very easy drinking and refreshing. Another good one

Bottled version served in a standard pint glass. Clear copper color with a white head that left decent lacing behind. The aroma is a balance of piney hops, some tropical fruit and caramel malt. The taste is also very balanced with a nice twang of bitterness on the back end. Crisp and refreshingly easy to drink. A darn good beer that I’ll probably be drinking a lot of this summer.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark honey hue with a small eggshell head. Lots of caramel, toffee, and candied citrus in here. Not at all biting. Missing the assertive resin and grapefruit indicative of the style. Pretty disappointing.

Tap @ Captain Lawrence... A golden pour with a mild forming, white head. Earthy and grainy. Quite malty with low bitterness. Very drinkable and simple. Notes of earthy hop spice and citrus.

Draft at Gingerman. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, caramel. Medium bodied, pleasantly bitter, crisp and clean finish. Nice Pale Ale.
