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.

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

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.

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.
