Good, smooth muted floral hops in the flavor. Some maltiness, maybe some breadiness. Not much aroma.

The pour is a transparent orange with a thin white head that leaves a touch of lacing. The aroma is of floral hops with a malt undertone. The flavor is nicely balanced and very clean and crisp. This beer is highly drinkable while having a nice body and good flavoring. Definitely a go to beer if you need a 6 pack.

Cloudy orange with a light tan head. Scent is malt, flowers and fruit. Taste is bready caramel malt, sweet...with a bit of spice and bitttering. Light....not bad.

Bottle at home with my wife. Wow that bottle image is really outdated, anyways it’s about time I gave this one a proper rating; I can’t even remember how many times I have had this one. Appearance is clear amber with a big off-white head and good lacing. Sweet hops, somewhat fruity, spicy, toffee, caramel, grapefruity, bready aroma. Taste is grapefruit, spicy/earthy hops, bready, light vanilla, caramel, and toffee, with a medium bitter finish. Medium body with high medium-to-soft carbonation. Smooth and well-balanced pale ale; great session beer.

johnbuck100 (166) - Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 17, 2012
6-pack from state line liquors - a very drinkable pale ale with a pretty strong malt backbone and a muted floral hop presence typical of English PAs. I much prefer the Fresh Hop Pale Ale offering by Great Divide, which is one of the few Fresh Hop offerings of a Pale Ale. This is a bit too bread-y malt-y for my taste. Still, a very drinkable offering.

ccex (799) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - DEC 8, 2012
12 oz. bottle pours a clear amber color with tiny off-white head. Aroma has lots of caramel malts, some floral hops and vegetables. Taste is initially sweet with a dry but short finish. Mouthfeel is buttery, body is medium. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Smells hoppy with a good dose of caramel malt aroma. Pours light orange with good foam and lacing. Medium carbonation. Taste is medium bitter with a bit of salt. Bottle from Village Beer Merchant.

Brouwerij (414) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - NOV 22, 2012
Pours a clear copper with a finger of rocky white head that settles in minutes. Considerable lacing. Aroma was mild malty, slightly hoppy, bread/dough. Slightly hoppy and bitter up front, fading into nutty, caramel tones. Mildly malty, bitter finish. Soft carbonation, light body, and a smooth/light mouthfeel. Clean and drinkable, but it could use a little more hops. Overall a very good beer. 12 oz. bottle poured into pint glass.
