Bottle from Secret Santa. Thanks Santa! Aroma of hops and bit of bready malt. Flavor is light hops and bready malt, pretty light. Light mouthfeel, very easy to drink. OK for what it is.

12 oz bottle - been a stand-by beer for me since I moved to the Raleigh NC area in 2006. Pours a orangish gold color with a thin white head. Mild citrus and hops aroma with faint bread and malt. Taste is a mild, smooth albeit light citrus and hoppy flavor. Nothing extraordinary about this pale ale other than the fact that it is very consistent and very easy to drink and it will please the masses if you are looking for something to stock the fridge with when people are coming over.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Crystal clear gold with a small, foamy, white head.
Aroma: Very hard to detect. Slight hint of urine.
Taste: Light malt notes, noble hops perhaps, and a little graininess.
Palate: Medium carbonation with medium-light, slightly dry mouthfeel. Medium-short finish.
Overall: Reminds me more of a Kolsch than a pale ale. Lacks body and flavor. Satisfying my ass.
