Medium bodied, StFun (512), Indiana, USA Feb 18, 2009 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.
