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

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!!

On tap at the pub. Clouded orange pour with a frothy white head. Sweet hop aroma. Citrus notes and spicy hop. Flavor of sweet hops, grapefruit citrus and light grain. Easy bitter finish that feels more fruity than hopped. Almost nutty.

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

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this growler. Pours a clear yellowish brown with a white head. The aroma is malt and light hops. The flavor is more of the light malt with grassy and citrus hops along with some caramel and biscuit malt. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Growlerfest 2010, thanks to thirdeye11, dark orange color with white foam, caramel, hops and pineapple aroma, flavors of pine and thin metallic, some malt

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!

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

Growler thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a large white head and a hazed golden body. Aroma of light hops and grain. Taste is citrus hops, and toasted grainy notes with a bit of hay. Light bubbles and well attenuated. Drinkable pale ale.
