Deep clean golden pour with white head and lace. Aroma is caramel malt and a light citrus hop aroma. Flavor is semi sweet caramel malt with a flat medium malt bitter. Medium bodied but a bit watery. Decent drinker.

Ok pale ale. Good bitter hop taste. Little lacing. Little color. Ok brew. Not my favorite pale ale.

Copper color with a white head. Aroma contains some caramel, citrus, and herbal notes. Flavor is rather bitter with some grapefruit and lemons. Some malt presence exists. Overall a pretty good beer.

Draught. Pours copper with whitish head. The aroma is fruity and citrus hops, cotton candy, and a sweet malt that seems somewhat creamy (diacetyl?). The flavor is unsurprising given the aroma. It has a fairly even balance of sweet maltiness (too sweet, imo; I also pick up some diacetyl here) and citrus/fruit hops. I finished my pint easily enough.

Draft sample at CBC. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy hop and toast malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth & sticky texture and soft carbonation. Moderate sweet flavor with a moderate swwet finish of medium duration. This a good brew.
