The head was alive with a lot of carbination. Nice thick yellow color to the beer. Nice hoppy nose, with the flavor to match. Average balance of malt, but could have used a bit more. A little too heavy on the hops, but thats ok to. Nice bitter is left on the palate for a few minutes. Be sure to drink it in that 55 degree range too cold and it blah, too warm and it taste like eating hops.

Cloudy amber pour topped by a huge rocky white head. The nose is softly hoppy and a little bit earthy/herbal character. The malts are a little bit earthy and slightly oxidized as well. Sort of lightly sweet with a touch of soft sweetness. It’s okay, but definitely not great.

Nice golden color. Thin head. Laces well. Nose is not very apparent. Taste is pleasant. Very nice for a low abv beer.

Bottle served in a shaker. Pours clear honey gold in color with a short-medium sized off-white head. Decent retention. Aroma is a mild: cereal, grass, and salt. Sweet, soft-malty flavor, Medium body, good carbonation, cricky texture. A slight bitterness comes thru and stay to the end. Almost like a light English bitter or pub ale. Some salt on the finish as well. Middle of the road.

Pours clear amber orange with a sticky white head. Aroma of herb, grass, mild pine, orange peel, kind of a soda sweetness. Taste is moderately bitter all the way through and medium short on the finish. The malt body is present but slightly thin. Carbonation is lively.

12 oz. bottle- Pours golden to amber with little head, aroma is mild grass and some hops but overall very subdued. The taste is a mild inoffensive pale ale, boring yet drinkable, the hops are well balanced with the malt.

Draft. Pours a hazy amber body with a white head. Bitter hop tones, hints of raspberries and cherries with grain and a mild hay graininess. Ashy with a light and abrupt finish light apricots.
