12 oz. bottle from Hi-Time. Fair copper color with a white head that never really arrived. Aromas of slightly roasted caramel and floral/citrus hops. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is primarily lightly roasted caramel and floral hop. Finish is reasonably dry and there is floral bitter. Another APA that is more of an ESB than APA. However, it drinks really well, and I think it would be appreciated across the pond. If they didn’t know where it came from.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Heritage Liquors in Maplewood, MN. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a creamy white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and white ring, with some spotty lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt, a touch of sweet apples, and light citrus hops. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of light multi-grain malt, a touch of corn, some mild citrus hops and a hint of vegetables. Finish is semi-dry with a light mild bitterness that quickly disappears to a crisp finish. Normally I prefer a pale ale to have a little more hop kick but this would be used for a summer kicker. An okay beer, but that is about it.
