Pours a lacing, beige head with a golden-amber body. Aromas of grass and bubblegum. Flavor is malty and grassy. Finish is a little sweet.

Aroma is caramel malts and a hint of nuttiness and hops. The flavor is sweet caramel malts and a decent hop bitterness in the finish. Closer to an EPA than an APA, a decent ale either way.

12oz bottle. Copper color, white head. Aroma of pale malt, toasted caramels, citrus hops. Tastes of sweet toasted malts, caramel. Finishes with a light hop bitterness. Well balanced, light bodied. (3315)

This is a cloudy orange beer w/ a thick white head. The nose is dusty and a bit citric. It’s a medium bodied beer w/ medium carbonation and firm, bitterness in the finish. It sounds OK on paper but really, this beer is very mediocre, being neither drinkable nor particularly flavorful. It’s OK though.

Clear copper, off white foam. Aroma is crystal malt, cracker, caramel, eh. Taste is bland, lots of crystal malt, sweet.

very very frothy, foams over the bottle neck when opened. hazy copper color, white head, somewhat lacy. mild nose with a hint of malt. flavor is spritzy sweet malt but pretty insubstantial. kinda spritzy mouth feel, light bodied, spritzy finish (i know thaqt doesn’t make a lot of sense, but all i get from this brew is a lingering effervescence in my mouth). as the beer warms, the hop presence becomes more pronounced.

Not sure this should be classified as a pale ale. Mouthfeel was thick and very little carb. Very bready and malty taste but lacks complexity. Not a total disaster but could use some refinement.

Mildly hazed orange-amber with a quickly fading off-white topper. Aroma of caramel, citrus, mild cardboard and heavy lackluster grains. Taste is a bit off with caramel, spices, citrus and lemon with a mild bitter finish. Pretty underwhelming.

Bottle from mtjoseph. What a killer dude that bro is! Clear copper color with a medium sized white head. Strong caramel aroma with very sweet fruit punch present too. Not looking forward to the first sip. Taste is thin citrus fruit juice with a sweet maltiness aspect. I should have expected that after the pretty disappointing aroma. Fairly watery with a lighter body. This is something I have no need to revisit.

12 oz bottle. amber pour with average creamy head. Initial taste felt sweet caramel then more traditional flavors but mild of hops; Not as carbonated as would expect.

bottle. hazy reddish amber under large, creamy head. spicy hops aroma. caramel malt and some un-exciting hops. buttery.
