pale gold with a thin white ring.
uh-oh... smells a bit buttery... mixed with caramel, earthy hops, spice and some faint pine.
it tastes rather british... caramel (buttery, but not bad), spice, toasty grain, sweet pine, flowers and a bunch of dirty hops with a mildly bitter finish.
medium bodied with a muddy texture.

Deep gold pour, light head. Nice hoppy aroma, crisp citrus and piney hops are both in the nose and on the tongue. I liked this one pretty well. Tap at the brewery.

I had this one after the Stone IPA, but still found the flavor to be rather solid. Imagine that. The pour was golden in color with a decent head and good lacing. The aroma was of herbal and pine hops. The flavor was balanced very nicely with a pils type malt flavor and the herbal and pine-like character of the cascade and chinook hops. A very enjoyable and well hopped APA.

Golden with a white head and surprisingly good lacing. Great cascede aroma w/ a light toastiness. Nice big c-hop flavor. Similar to snpa with a little more bitterness and not quite as clean. the best beer I’ve had from this brewery.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Flagstaff Brewing Company, Flagstaff, Arizona.
Clear orange beer with a fine off-white head. Quite odd but interesting aroma for a pale ale! Grassy, hayish, hoppy and fruity. Also hayish flavor, it actually tastes like withered grass! Some hops in there also.
