Pale gold color. Short lived 1/2 finger head. Nice hop aroma without being overwhelming. Moderate hop taste with mild citrus and a slightly dry finish. Well balanced. Very good but not supurb.

Clear dark amber color with a small white head. Nice cascade hoppy citrusy grapefruit aroma. Flavor is much the same, with hop flavors dominating but with some maltiness to balance it out. This is hopped well enough that it could be called an IPA. Medium-light body with just the right amount of carbonation. All in all, this is an excellent APA, easily one of the best in America. In my opinion this is better than Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Light Pale ale, with a bitter taste reminiscent of an India Pale Ale. Small foamy head, very smooth to drink with mild aftertaste. Drove to Columbus OH to try one, was not worth the drive.

Pours a clean and clear golden color with minimal white head. Has a strong hoppy aroma with some citrus hiding in the background. Flavor is hoppy with some malt and light citrus tones. Not very bitter, only a little during the finish. Has a thin, crisp mouth to it. A refreshing brew.

This is a very good pale ale, to me at least. Very attractive color and head. Aroma not the most wonderful, but a good hop aroma and a bit of malt in there too. Taste has a nice, good, almost thick but soft maltiness balanced very well with hops in the start and finish. Hop character seems straightforward, but enjoyable, just a tad of the citrus that is mentioned. But then again, this is a Pale, not an IPA that is supposed to take you on a hop adventure. Body is a little heavy for a pale, so it’s not the most refreshing, but one of the more flavourful.

this was an impressive pale...golden in color with minimal white head....aroma of floral hops, lemon notes...fllavor is quite the same and is fortunately lacking the bitterness that some of these beers tend to give off...crisp, clean, and refreshing
