taste is a little malty and slightly bitter, but very crisp. not that bad of a pale ale, but not close to being a top quality one either.

An easy drinking, subtle pale ale. Not at the top of my list, but still an enjoyable pour.

Very well conceived, and an interesting procession of effects: great fresh, floral aroma, and a rapid onset of hops, a refreshing lemony flavor, then the hop effect diminishes quickly, leaving a clean quality with little bitter aftertaste.

A brown copper colored ale with hoppiness that is not overpowering. This is no better or worse than pale ales I can get in New England, so I won’t go out of my way to find it - nor will I turn it down.

An interesting interpretation of a pale ale. The aroma has a hint of orange and some flowers. Speaking off oranges, is of a hazy orange tint. The taste is reminiscent of citrus with clove. Overall a very good and interesting version of a pale ale.

Very fruity and citrusy smells coming together to form a sort of tart pungency. You get a bit of spicy hops followed by the cereal, bready sweet malts and then ending with the fruity tart citrus hop flavored bitter finish. Very delicious beer. Its a very creamy rich beer for a lighter pale ale style. You can tell it isn’t an American style Pale Ale but still has enough hop delicious flavor melding together to create a unique Pale ale.

lotsa carbonation. Okay head. A bit watery and not really a whole lot of flavor to speak of. Pretty average and not much better than your mainstream domestic offerings.

A good pale ale with a healthy citrus note that makes it refreshingly crisp. Perfect for a hot summer day or while grilling.

12oz bottle. Pours a orange/copper with white frothy head. Has a slight floral & fruity aroma when poured. The taste was quite light with some sweet citrus and slightly grassy, bitter flavors

Really well crafted beer, but with very malty overtones true to the English model. I enjoyed it, but the malt flavor didn't hit my sweet spot. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
