a beautifully done pale ale: not overwhelming like other great divides, but a solid aromatic brew that exudes wonderful tone of hops. clear orage color with beige head, the tense nose of dry hops foretells the focus of what is to come: a hedonic flavor of well balanced hops and malt. very enjoyable.

Jul 1, 2008 22oz. bomber at Table Rock. Bought last two bottles in store on sale, so they were a little old I’ll re-rate this fall. Slightly hazy amber copper color with thin off white head that left good lacing. Freshly opened bag of hops aroma. Light flavor of green and citrus hop with light balancing malt inthe background. Light body, soft carb., and dry texture and feel. A really good beer with rough edges that would probably be better in season.

Jun 17, 2008 Upon opening, the aroma is full of citrusey hops. Pours amber with some white head. Fairly carbonated. First notes to hit your tongue are a refreshing citrus flavor followed by a nice, balanced bitterness. Very dry and refreshing.

Jun 14, 2008 Amber w&/ small pale head. Caramel malty nose, citric fruity hops. Same goes for flavor, with little pine on the side. Nicely bitter finish. Medium bodied, smoothly carbonated palate. I guess it’d be better, like the name says, fresh.
