Pretty tasteless Pale Ale here. Maybe a beginner would like this. It looks good in the glass and that is about it.

Bottle sampled. Pours a golden color with a small off-white head. Aroma of light caramel, floral hops and some citrus notes. Flavor follows the aroma with a bittersweet finish.

12 oz bottle-pours an amber/orange color w/a slight off white head. Light hop & malt aroma. Flavor of floral hops w/ traces of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, & some traces of bread dough. Light, easy drinking brew, tastes more like an amber than an APA to me; but I guess they can call it whatever they want. Pretty mild for an APA, those usually aren’t my favorite style, this wasn’t bad; solid brew. Mild malt finish.

Bottle. Pours a light amber color with a small off white head. Aroma of light hops, malt and caramel. Taste is slightly sweet and earthy. Flavor of citrus and hops for a light bitter finish.

(12oz bottle) Small off-white head atop crystal clear light amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, toffee/bread, caramel, some orange. Taste is medium sweet, orange, caramel, some lime, slightly astringent. Light-medium body, some acidity.

bottle - Amber ale? That’s another categorization I don’t agree with here. If the brewer says it’s an APA, I think there needs to be a good reason to call it something else. IMO it easily has enough hops to fit the style. But anyway, it pours coppery and slightly hazy with a two finger, lingering head. There’s a good citrus hop aroma. The flavor is moderately bitter with a little citrus. The balance is just ok. It could use some more character. This medium bodied brew finishes dry.
