Looks good poured from the bottle, slightly hazy. Fairly clean fresh candy aroma. Interesting name, implies low alky but I think I feel a little warming feeling in the gullet. Seemed to be somewhat sharp at first but I think its dulling as the session continues. Finish is medium apa.

Light on the palate; didn’t expect that out of something called an "ultra pale ale." Grassy, a little citrus, curious mouthfeel, Maybe it’s just me, but I got a little metallic blowback on the finish. Seems like an ok session beer for a summer day, but doesn’t seem at all like a serious pale ale.

Had on draft @ the Ellicottville brewpub in Ellicottville, NY .. . ultra cool! .. almost like a lighter version of summer love .. pours gold .. great lacing .. . crisp .. bits of citrus, summer fruit, and flowers .. . don’t drink and mow, you might hit a water sprinkler or the neighbors cat.. and that is not a fun conversation...

Pours a clear pale yellow/orange with a thin white head. Aroma of light sweet corn and light grassy hops. Flavor of sweet malt and light grassy hops. Better than I expected.

I like this. A tasty ale without the hop bitterness of an IPA. Just enough hoppiness to enjoy and refrwsh. Nice grassy aroma...me likey!

Bottle, pour is bright yellow, arom is corny and light, it has a bit of a suger taste in the finish, overall it is interest, not bad

No, I did not Mow before drinking this. The lawn is too burned out. Pours gold with a white head. Light grainy malt aroma with a hint of hops. The flavor is on the lighter side, with a touch of malt and a hint of lemon. Very thin.

Straw-yellow, lots of carbonation. Totally see-through. A finger of fragile head. Lace is scant, slushy. The pale Euro hops of an English-style ale. Flowery perfume nose, with sweet (but not too sugary malts). Very sharp, very crisp. The flavor is a sweet, honey-like variety. It’s also crisp like a German lager, but without the bitter finish. Very light. The feel is slightly prickly at first, then finishes smoothly; appropriate for style. For a summery beer, it does the job. It’s not great, but it is a nice marriage between a "refreshing" summer beer, and one with actual flavor. For that reason, I’ll take it; it’s a nice hybrid for a cookout on a hot Syracuse summer day.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is of caramel malts and some citrus hops. Flavor is strong of the citrus hops up front. A slightly bitter finish with a hint of some grassy tones. Interesting, a nice session beer.

Pours a clear light yellow with a thinnish white head. Aroma is light, almost nonexistent, maybe a little grassy. I’d guess it was more of a lager from the aroma, but it’s not bad. Flavor is also a bit more lager like. I would expect actually less flavor from an ultra pale ale than is present here. This is decent, though.
