On tap at the brewery 2/2/08: Pours a transparent bright copper bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts effervescent and semi-sweet with some toasty malts and earthy bittering hops toward a bittersweet slightly drier finish. An ok APA.

On tap it pours an amber color with an off white head and the aroma of citrus, hops, bread and caramel. Nice grapefruit taste and medium carbonation - biscuity finish. Good Pale Ale from a local brewer... wish they would bottle.

On tap at Bub O’Malley’s. Pours a nice, clear golden with a decent white head with okay retention and lacing. Strong resiny hops aroma with citrus. Taste is well balanced with biscuit malt and piney hops. Similar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale albeit not as smooth. Not bad. A nice surprise.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Légère odeur d’houblon avec une pointe de caramel. Apparence: La couleur est orangée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de zeste d’orange avec une pointe de caramel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement minérale. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de pamplemousse en arrière goût. (Rating #2298)

Someone shared one of these with me at Pre-Sex, but I’m not sure who (maybe tjthresh). Not the biggest fan of Pale Ales, but it was good for what it was. Pours an yellowish-orange with a thin and swirling white head. Aroma is pretty nice, weak hops, sugar, candy, and bread. Flavor is dank hops and more candy, with a musky characteristic and just a touch of yeast. Very thin.
