A little darker pour than the gold one. Hoppy smelling, and malty. Taste is also grassy, sweet, and hoppy. Not bad actually, rather drinkable. I liked it.

In the bottle. Pours a reddish dark gold with an ivory head. Aroma is nice: citrus and fruity from the solid finishing hop content. Flavor is initially like tea, but subsides into a more traditional hop bitterness. Fine malt body producing a level of sweetness that engulfs the bitterness.

this one didn’t leave much of an impression with me one way or the other, a pretty typical midwestern beer, and again i’m not the biggest fan of pale ales

(bottle - 12 oz) Hazy orange color with a thick and lasting tan head. Aroma is rather citrusy and slightly hoppy with hints of pine. Maybe some caramel too. A nice hoppy flavor at the front balanced with a smooth, piney and malty sweetness and a bitter and hoppy finish. Aftertaste is bitter and hoppy. Medium-bodied and very drinkable. Thanks Dan.

Pours amber with a two-finger off-white head. Excellent citrusy and piney hop aroma, with honey and sweet bread undertones. Interesting flavor. Well-balanced and deliciously hoppy, but there are some strange tastes of bubble gum and some slightly medicinal notes. Dry, bitter finish, with a metallic tinge.

On tap at Charlie’s Ale House. Another winner tonight. Rare when picking blindly at the restaurant. Anyways - an amber pour with a foamy off-white head, some lacing. Pine in the nose, and start. A nice nutty finish that complimented the bitterness of the hops. Solid palate too.

transparent amber color and very flavorful.. not too hoppy but kind of bitter with a moderate amount of spice.
