Typical pale ale. Nothing really special a good beer but not really a stand out. Spicy hops, decent finish and nice pale amber pour color. Over all decent.

Smell has a nice little floral hop to it. The look is a little thin and on the carbonated side as well. The taste is quite nice. Reminiscent of Sierra Nevada, a good bite at the start and end. Pretty nice.

Bottle sampled with stegosaurus. Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, sweetmalts, with a hint of caramel. Taste is citrusy with a earthy hop character coming through in the end

12oz bottle. Pours golden/copper color with a small, airy white head. A decent amount of bubbles rising to the top. Aroma is pretty subtle. Very balanced hop smell but not much of it. Some citrus and bread as well. Taste is smooth and balanced with a bit of bitterness in the finish. This is way more mellow than I anticipated. That’s not a bad thing but I would have enjoyed a lot more hops in the flavor. This is a good beer if you’re looking for something smooth and easy to drink but I’ll stick with the bigger pale ales.

Nice and solid considering it genre. A bit more body than a traditional pale ale and has a very smooth taste which I enjoy over the bitterness and heavy hops of other pale ales. Can’t complain, but I do like the Sierra Nevada pale ale and Wolaver’s pale ale better

Amber colored brew with light lacing. The aroma is of citrus and this follows through to the taste with a touch of pine and a nice malt backbone.

Draft @ Capone’s. Pours a nice copper color without much of a head. Citrus dominates the aroma - a cross between orange and lemon zest. Flavor is a bit of lemon rind, caramel malt and some pine notes. Very interesting brew. Very drinkable.

On tap at Capone’s during the Great Lakes tasting. Pours a lightly hazy amber with an average light tan creamy lacing head. Aroma of candy sweet citrus, some floral notes and caramel malts. Flavor of sweet caramel malts, toffee, slight hop bitterness, some citrus and overall a bit sticky.
