COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An easy-drinking, gorgeous pale, made with primarily Amarillo hops. Not quite as light as Miller High Life but thirst-quenching nonetheless. AKA Solstice Pale Ale.

Aubrey (3192) - Bellingham, USA - JUN 4, 2011
UPDATED: JUL 10, 2011 Very refreshing beer. Mostly clear and golden in color. Great lace patterns. Light in body, but not necessarily watery. Solid carbonation. Hops really come through. Citrusy and bright, with a fitting bitterness. Malts are lightly toasted. Overall, it’s easy to drink, light yet flavorful, thirst quenching and snappy-bitter.

Bomber poured a clear golden yellow with a lasting white head. Aromas of biscuit, skunk bud, earthiness, lemon zest and light mint. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, lemon zest and earthiness with a crisp dry moderatlky bitter finish.

old note, from beer cruise no doubt. Good aroma, sweet. Citrusy. Grapefruit and lemon side of things. Golden orange color, good head and lace. Bitter flavor. Lite body, little creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Mighty Tasty, Nice citrus hop bite about it. Wonderful flavor. Could drink all the time.

improvjock (209) - Seattle, Washington, USA - OCT 26, 2011
22 oz Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with big, soft, pillowy white head. Aroma is of light citrus and floral hops. Crisp and refreshing. Smooth, but light. Slight floral hops and sourness in the finish. Makes me miss the summer!

22oz bottle. Yeah, I know it’s not summer anymore. Pours a brilliantly clear gold in my glass with a fluffy white head that fades to a thin layer of foam. Aroma is piney hops with a little bready malt in the background. Flavor is the opposite, with it being more malt-forward, with a nice bitter, hoppy finish. Solid pale ale

deyholla (3528) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 19, 2011
Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has light fruits and floral notes with a bit of citrus and sweet grains. Also a hint of spice. Flavor is light with light fruits and citrus with a nice sweet and floral finish.

crackedmachine (302) - Seattle, Washington, USA - SEP 14, 2011
Pours pale, slightly hazy copper with a thin off-white head. Awesome fruity hop aroma. Light but flavorful - a mix of light malt and mild citrus hops, and not very sweet at all. This is a near-perfect summer beer. Light, plenty of hops, not overly malty, moderate ABV, and refreshing. Excellent for continual consumption all summer long.

carruthm (1400) - Seattle, Washington, USA - AUG 24, 2011
Very pale color, straw but actually holds a nice hoppy nose of woodsy, piney notes

AmEricanbrew (4123) - roam, Louisiana, USA - AUG 5, 2011
Bottle. Clear dark golden color/ lasting white head. Dusty pale malt, floral, honey biscuit aromas. Light bodied with soft co2. Subtle floral, spicy hoppage flavors with a lightly sweet honey biscuit base, nicely bitter finish--tasty summer ale

Very clear like a Pills. Small tight head. Light nose. Clear but weak nose. Okay beer.
