Draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper color with a medium sized off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of citrus hops and caramel malts. The taste is citrus hops and toasted malts. Thin-medium bodied, decent balance. Fairly straightforward.

Thanks to Lithy for this one. Clear gold with a tall, long lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with some earthy hops at the back. Nicley balanced flavor with a dry finish. Good Pale Ale.

Pours a clear golden orange from the bottle with thin white head and light lacing. Aroma of pale and caramel malts and a bit of earthiness, taste follows, thin but flavorful. Good stuff, sessionable.

On tap at the brewery. Light coloration , little to no lacing. Light body, was expecting more substance. Crisp finish however. Not bad by any means, but not memorable either.

Draft. Poured pale gold/copper with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma was biscuity, caramelly malt. First hit on the nose made me think West Coast, because I got some grapefruit and pine, but then it straightened out into floral, earthy hops. Maybe I was getting the draft off of other beers from my flight? Flavor was well balanced between caramel malt and earthy, slightly spicy hops. Medium mouthfeel. Great session beer.

12oz bottle, good style!! Copper color, slight caramel hop aroma, clean, crisp well balanced, light body, lively, definite taste of malt, not overdone. Good session brew, I think this beer has won some awards.

Light, clear yellow gold, thin lacing. Very light musky nose. Crisp, light; a light citrus note on the back palate. Very sessionable...this would be a really good summer beer.

Hmm and English Pale? well it works to me, the Kent Goldings sing in this beer, its a balanced beer which wouldnt offend any englishman, straight forward and well crafted.

On Draft .. last stop of the day- Church Brew Works brewpub; Pittsburgh,PA .. pours a medium amber .. good foam .. . point of odor, lisa stinks .. . light biscuit malt, dead leaves .. a tasty beer but abit light. . go banana!!

Pours a cloudy amber color with minimal off white head. Aroma is malty for a pale. Taste proves to be more of the same. Rich malt backbone with a generous amount of hops but since the malt is so robust it merely is a slight interruption. I personally like this balance even though it might not meet the standard definition of a pale.
