Copper colored and clear in look with a beige colored head. Smell is hops, malts, flowers, and sweet. Taste is hops, grass, flowers, light bitterness, and some malts. Not bad.

ours acopper orange with a tan headaroma of cascade and full malt nicely balanced slight bitterness on the tongue almost no real hop bite more like a copper ale than a pale in that regard good beer but not as strong in the flavor department as I prefer, possibly the lack ABV% results in less hop flavor to maintain the superior balance.

A decent pale ale, but by no means life-changing. Has a good alcohol burn, suprisingly, despite its tame 5.3%. Sweet on the nose and hearty in the mouth with the usual suspects present in an American pale ale along with an almost salty/beefy flavor in the background. Overall, good. I can dig it.

Unclear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, moderate hoppy, grapefruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (050808)

Pours with a large, fluffy, off-white head. Clear honey orange body. Head diminishes but leaves good lacing. Aroma is nice and piney with a bit of citrus, some soap and and caramel. Taste is soapy and malty with bitter hops at the finish. Creamyish mouthfeel, light bubbles.

Pours a light clear copper with off white head, no lacing with this beer. Smells fresh and piney. Tastes slightly of citrus, but smooth with a light creaminess. Not a lot of hops, more of an aftertaste. I would probably opt for another pale ale over this one.
