Pours a deep hazy amber with a one finger head. No lcaing to speak of. Smells of biscuity malt and cirtusy hops. Flavor is dominated by the English-style hops and a funky, fruity and biscuity malt flavor. The flavors don’t mesh well at all. This was tough to get through. Not a good pale ale at all.

Deep clean amberish pour. LIght hops and malt on the nose. Sweet fruity malt back bone with just enough bitter to make it nice. A bit foamy on a medium bodied beer. Very nice offering that is just a hint away from being excellent.

Reddish-brown, amber hue with thin head. Hoppy, floral notes on the nose with a bit of honey. Somewhat malty intro with mild carbonation, smooth mouthfeel and some sweetness followed by a pleasant bitter finish. Nice beer. I’m looking forward to being able to buy this in Louisiana.

Music City Brewer’s Fest 2008. Clear light amber with a medium off-white head. Very nice malty citrus aroma. Well balanced flavor, nice dryness towards the finish.

Thanks to texasbartender for this beer. Pours a deep amber color with a thin tan head. Great malt nose with some good English hops aromas. Flavor is strong malt and hops up front...very nice, but it does finish a bit weak with too much fizz. Mouthfeel is not bad either. Really a pretty good beer that border on above average, but just misses. Thanks Kevin!

Kinda funny pale ale. Initial flavor was nice but then it dissipates to nothing. A bit watery. Start out strong but finished weak. Not much head. Pretty average but not terrible.
