This is a very nice Pale Ale, both on tap and from the bottle.
Nice head, good hopsy aroma, excellent palate and flavor. This is a nicely balanced pale.

Pours a hazy rusty orange brown. Nice wispy lasting head. Nose is caramel and buttery. Taste is flavorful with caramel and malt, very mild bitterness. Taste is dry and short. Personally a big fan of EPAs, quite drinkable and enjoyable, especially with a slab of English cheese. Quaff Score 7 / 10

Pours amber with an off white head and aroma of malt and caramel. Taste is sweet, of malt, caramel, bread, and hops with a dry, bitter finish. Solid english pale ale.

12oz bottle stolen from Streets - thanks Annie. Pours dark gold into shaker with big, mostly bubble-less off-white head. Appearance is its strong point. Smells of sweet honey, straw, metal, kind of skunky. Tastes almost equally sweet with a touch corn and medium amount of hop bitterness that somehow does not make it a lot better. Thin-bodied, medium to high carb, a lit of a rough mouthfeel. Not a big fan.

Cloudy amber, decent tan head.
Slightly peppery, slight tomato scent.
Taste is malt, caramel.....sweetness is balanced out nicely by citrus notes.....some grass.
Pretty good balance in this beer.
Thanks to Shrubber for the Arkansas connection.

12oz bottle. First Arkansas beer, thanks to a BA trade. Medium amberish in color with a small head. Slight hoppiness in the nose- not strong, but it is pleasant. Flavor isn’t anything worth writing home about... slightly hoppy, but has a bland maltiness in there too.

12 oz. bottle from a six pack purchased at Walgreens in West Memphis, AR. That was a fun buying experience. Pours a clear amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, leaves, toast, grassy notes, and straw. Flavor of caramel malts, tea leaves, toasted sugar, and a hint of cardboardy oxidation, which was also in the nose just a tiny bit. Light-medium bodied, with a tea-like mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not a bad EPA but I’d like to try it fresher.
