Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a yellowish gold color with a medium head. Good head retention and fair lacing. Aroma is sweet malts and citrus hops. Taste is bitter, resiny hops with a slight tinge of pine and metal. Medium bodied,

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.

Draft at the brewpub. Pour is copper with a off white head. Biscuit malty with barely a pinch of hops detected in the nose. The flavor reveals some earthy hops with lingering bitterness. I found this to be very watery.

Sample @ Foothills: Nice red-orange hue with bubbly head. Sort of a hop bomb I wasn’t expecting for just a pale ale. Aggressively hopped, aroma of toasted caramel malt. So flavorful, I was hard-pressed to believe it was under 5%.

Sample at the Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Poured a clear amber color with a one finger white head. Aroma of pine/resin and some citrus. Flavor was well balanced, with a piney finish.
