This American Pale Ale pours a deep amber brown color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized fairly dense white foamy head, with nice lacing and good retention. A medium bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are floral and citrusy. Kind of a strange beer for an APA, the malt profile is way caramel and sweet and the floral hops are sort of left behind. There is a almost tropical flavor here, very different, and I am not sure I like it all that much. It kind of grows on you but it is kind of strange. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is a slight bitterness that linger a while.

I really like this brew. Was surprised by the overall flavor and texture of this brew. Pours deep brown with not too much head on it. Really well crafted brew, drinks with mild hops and quality malts. Great brew, a real surprise.

Copper with white watery head and lace. Aroma of caramel malt light citrus hops. Sweet caramel malt with a light citrus followed by a metallic that takes away. Medium bodied but a bit watery with a decent bitter.

22oz bottle-pours a rich light tan head and copper color. Aroma is bready-light/medium malt, some herbal. Taste is bready-light/medium malt, some herbal hops. Kind of EPA/ESB, easy.
