Draft at Safeco Field. Medium amber, clear, little head. Aroma was caramel and undefined piney hops. Flavor was mild biscuit, perhaps a bit of spicy hops. Some citrus and earth. Bitter tinge, tocuh thin, and a bit of carbonation bite. Just sort of there. Consumed while watching the White Sox take the Mariners behind the woodshed.

A great orangish yellow color with a smooth and silky head. Great aroma and a great tasting beer. If you have had a hot day in the sun this is the beer to grab. Good use of mat and hops and the flavor is just killer. Mmmmmmm

From bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with thin white head. Nose is light citrus hops. Flavor is bitter hops all the way from start to finish. Body is overly thin. A good drinker though.

Bottle. This pale copper colored ale has a surprizing flavor that seems to be a blend of malted fruit and hops. Quite pleasing. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Bottle conditioned. Pours clear light copper with small off-white head. Dissipates quickly leaving a layer of foam that leaves some lacing. Aroma isn’t too strong, and is of cascady, grapefruity hops. Bitter with a light, thin, carbonated mouthfeel. Balanced way towards hops, without a ton of character. This is a drinkable, summer-type pale ale. Nothing bad, but nothing real great either.

Pours a orange/gold with a slight fog. Litle to no head appears on a straight pour. Minimal lacing, but I’m not worried yet. The smell is all tart fruity hops with a little hint of yeast. The taste is lighter than I expected, but I’m a hop addict so I am slightly biased. It finishes refreshing and extremely drinkable. could be the easiest session pale ale I have ever had. Not strong on the hops, but delightfully balanced.
