Bottle Aroma of pale malts, floral hops, citrus, doughy malt, yogurt mustiness, grass. Flavor hoppy up front with sweet malt and a nice lemon character. Resinous finish. Nice one.

Ah, nice to be out West. I have tried over thirty beers in one week. Weak aroma. Not much of a smell on this one. SLIGHT malt, but mainly a hop aroma. The beer has no head on it. The beer has a nice orange slight caramel brown hue to it. Average with smell and looks. Decent hop profile. Not much of a beer that directs itself towards malt. The beer has a nice hop profile for what it is. I had never heard of this company. Nice hops, but rather weak. The beer just has weak characteristics all around. I don’t know, I believe this beer is a bit overrated

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear amber/orange with a one finger off white head. Aroma of malt and floral notes, with some citrus hints. Flavor was malty, with only a slight hint of bitterness in the finish. I was satisfied with this brew, but not excited.

Bottle. Pours a moderately cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt and floral hops. Flavor of bready malts, floral hops, light fruits. Spritzy mouthfeel, perhaps a bit too carbonated, but easy drinking. Sweet finish. A quality pale ale. 7/4/7/4/15 (3.7/5)

Excellent session beer, I have knocked out a couple hundred bottles of this since I turned 21 and I never regret it. Nice hazy amber pour with a big ol head. Big cascade hop flavor over the top of a decent malt profile makes for one tasty little beer.

Got a six pack of bottles. Poured easy with a thin head. Well carbonated, Pungent sweet hop aroma, light malts. Nice color, with a small amount of haze. Taste is smooth with a clean finish. Malty grains are overpowered by the hop flavour that is flowery not bitter. Some nice malts come into play while drinking giving it more ballance. Great thirst quencher. I plan to buy this one again.
