On tap at Denver Beer poured a clear amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of biscuit, skunkbud, earthiness, light pine and a hint of citrus. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of biscuit, earthiness, light citrus and light pine with a smooth moderatly bitter finish.

Tap @ brewery. Transparent, light burnt orange appearance with a cream colored head. Somewhat piney, earthy hoppy, pale malty aroma. Slightly toasted malty, earthy, light piney hoppy flavor. The hop flavor is a little dull and kind of weird.

Tap. Pours clear amber with a small, fizzy white head, medium retention with light lacing. Aroma is skunky hops, earthy and sweaty hops, light toast and biscuit malt, and tropical fruity esters. Flavor is malty with dark hops, fruity esters and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation, low warmth.

Quite similar to their other pale ale - sadly, it also carries some similar flaws - a bit of a burnt/charred peanut skin character pops up in an otherwise fairly straightforward and easy drinking pale - earthy hop flavor, but not much bitterness - light caramel sweetness - nothing particularly stand out, which makes the one glaring flaw hard to ignore - meh.
