Big thanks to Curtis for sending me this growler! Shared with the other Matt last week. The beer is a copper / orange / amber hue, depending on where the light hits the glass. The liquid is very hazy, with nearly an inch of off white head that exhibits lasting retention. The aroma is a blend of hops and malt, with light citrus. The flavor is well balanced and enjoyable. This is a nice pale ale, and fresh tasting. The body is light, but not thin, per se. The aftertaste leaves a lasting hop bitterness (positive) on the palate. Overall, a nice, light beer. A good choice for warm weather. I would have this again. Serving type: growler Reviewed on: 06-06-2011

very low in color, very nice hop nose, wow... smooth on the front of the tongue and slight pleasant after taste of bitter... best pale I’ve had

Tap at brewpub
Pours a glassy amber with a nose of soapy hops. Flavor is syrupy-sweet rosy hops. Oily mouthfeel. Not bad.

Light orange pour. Light caramel malt and resiny hops. Flavor mirrors aroma with a decent finishing bitter. Light medium body with good carbonation.

2/24/12. On tap at the brewery during RBWG 2012. Clear golden pour with a small khaki head. Plain aroma of light caramel malt with a bit of grassy hops. Light flavor as well with a touch of caramel and grassy hops. Plain but drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. Light amber in color with a small white head. Aroma is of tropical fruits, sweet malt and hops. Taste is of citrus, caramel and malt. Nose and taste are a little weak.

On tap at the brewpub. Sampled with DarkBeerChick. Poured a dark amber body with some off-white head. Aromas of piney hops that’s fairly assertive. Some floral notes afterwards. Flavors of mostly piney/floral hops, lightly malty sweet (fairly balanced), grassy/floral hops in the end. Medium carbonation and mouthfeel. Not a bad choice for pizza on date night.

Pours out a dark caramel .. very good foam, lacing is superb .. . bitterness is on the level .. . Ziggatyboobaleehubbidazimmineejoogaleebobbably Ghost Dad! .. . Your basic Pale done to an assertive but not overdone standard .. I liked it but seems to fall into the shadows .. she’s not out of monkey she’s out of money!!

Moderately orange translucent pale with an off-white frothy head and sparse carbonation. Lightly sweet aroma. Balanced malt-hop flavor. Better than I expected. Easy drinking but still with a strong hop resence for a pale. Rocking lacing!

growler thanks to thirdeye11 at growlerfest 2010. poured amber with a white head. nose is straight peach and not much else. easy on the palate with light hops and a clean finish.
