bottle. thick looking amber with a large, whipped, white head. peachy, floral hop notes with crystal malt aroma. flavor has quite a bit of crystal malt with floral bittering hops. more hoppy than your typical english style pale, but a huge maltiness cuts it. medium to full bodied.

This one pleasantly surprised me. Poured from a bottle. Honey orange color with little head and minimal lacing. Aroma is orange citrus and floral. Taste is citrusy with light clove. English malt flavor is subdued accompanied by mild hop bitterness. Overall, well balanced. Mouthfeel is moderate. Fairly smooth drinking - could easily be a session beer.

We had this beer at the 2013 Tops of the Hops in Biloxi, MS. Do not like. Your typical pale ale.

Slight tropical fruit aroma with some citrus hops. Pours a nice copper amber in the glass. Clean minty hops upfront followed by slight floral soapy bitterness. Overall, drinkable and decent.

Not bad. A sweetish pale ale. Medium bodied, light appearance. A bit of honey and a nice amount of bitterness. Tried this one on tap at the Greenhouse Grille in Fayetteville with the parents and Anthony in Jan, 2013.

10/2/12. 12oz bottle thanks to Curtis! Light amber pour with a small khaki head that cuts in half but sticks and actually laces quite a bit. Mild aroma with caramel, biscuits, crackers, and a touch of floral hop character. Laid back, refreshing flavor with more cracker, caramel, and malt, and just a touch of hop floral and drying aspects that beg for another sip. Lightly creamy and easy to drink. This really isn’t half bad for the style. I dig it.

Draft at flying saucer little rock. Pours orange with a thin white head. Not much on the nose. A bit of pine hop bitterness on the tongue. Finishes. Eh!
