2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20A: Pretty good here. Citrus comes through well. A subtle hoppiness.
A: I mean... what am I looking for here. It’s light... Explosive head is a unacceptable for a pale ale where the carbonation should be more in check.
T: A great citrus note but otherwise weak. Light, yeasty, malty drinks way too much like an american lager.
P: Despite the high carbonation it sits decently well. Nice flavor development of the citrus note.
O: I was really disappointed in this beer. After a couple great showings from coast this was pretty much a fail. The citrus note is great but the base of the beer is weak being overly yeasty and malty. Rather out of balance. And the over carbonation on a pale ale is really off putting.... I would understand a bit more if it was something a little more complex where bottle refermentation would bring out some flavors but with this is doesn’t make sense.

Nicely aromatic and citrus forward pale ale. A bit thin and lacking in malt depth but just a tasty hop bomb that isnt too bitter. Great stuff.

22oz bottle. Poured a golden color with an averaged sized head. Floral, citrus, and some toastiness.

Had on tap at Smoky Oak Taproom on James Island. Pours lighter than I would have expected for a pale- sort of a cloudy gold colour. Made me wonder if it is unfiltered? Big head that stuck around for the party.Decent nose - pineapple, fruits, malty and that resinous hoppiness that can be great or really, really offputting. Initial taste is the sweet and then finishes with a decent hoppiness. A sort of piney dryness. Balance is a bit drier than I would have liked/expected and colour is a bit pale- but a solid pale ale; almost like a light IPA. Solid and refreshing- perfect after the driving range.

64oz growler from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pour dull golden color that’s a bit hazy. Aroma of clean hops with tropical fruit. Tastes of citrus pine. Dry short finish. This is nothing to write home about but decent.

Picked up a bottle from a great little store in Charleston. It was decent, light straw color, minimal head, some citrus, hop notes. A short finish, decently bitter and crisp.

Bottle. Light straw colored pour, almost wit like. Citrus heavy aroma and flavor. Grapefruit, pineapple heavy. Pithy, nice flavor. Citrus forward heavy pale, don’t judge a book by the cover. Enjoyable
