Draft. Pours copper orange with off white head. Nose/taste of citrus, hops, light malt and caramel. Some orange. Medium body.

On draft at the brew pub. A nice golden copper color with a medium head. Nice hop aroma and flavor. Drinkable and crisp.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange-red with a thick creamy white head. Aroma of floral hops, caramel malt, light fruits. Flavor of bready and caramel malt with a soapy, floral finish. A little sweet, could stand to be drier but otherwise it’s tasty with emphasis on floral/perfumy/fruity hops. 7/4/7/4/14 (3.6/5)

poured from tap at harvest moon into a pint glass. Pours a solid orange color with a nice, but short, head. Forward with noticeable hops along with aromas of florals, citrus and oranges. Good complexity, but lacking some depth medium/full bodied with a very smooth feel. Nice flavors of citrus, oranges and hops This comes off as more of an IPA than a Pale Ale. A very good beer on the whole though

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a moderate amber-henna-copper, fairly clear and with an off-white head. Flavors are crisp and reasonable. Some juicy hops, only slightly isovaleric and cheesy. Malts are okay, but for me, too heavy on the caramel malt. Alcohols are clean. This fine, but nothing particularly notable, really. Just kind of a middle and average pint of "ale", which I guess is what English Pale Ale and this beer are shooting for. A little too sweet. Continued mediocrity.

Draft. Pours golden amber with a thin white head. Sweet malty aroma with light floral and citric hops. Well balanced flavor with sweet malt, floral hops, and some lighter citric notes. Pretty good and definitely drinkable.

Tap @ the brewpub. The beer was copper colored with a light haze and almost white head. the aroma and flavor were matching. Light amount of citrus and grapefruit with a malty base. Pretty basic.

Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, floral hops, caramel malts, and a bit of toast. Taste of light pine, citrus fruits, caramel, and a lightly bitter finish.

Draft, at the bar. A solid Pale Ale, good hop character and none of the soapy taste often found in this style. Poured sonewht cloudy, though that’s not an issue with me (highly hopped beers in these environments are often cloudy). A bit more age on it may help the overall palate, but it’s damned good as it is. A solid beer.

Draft sample at brewpub. Pours copper with white head. Nose is floral hops and caramel. Good lacing for a draft sample. No wonder this is top rated. Great hop/malt balance, maybe a bit too sweet, but not really, hops are floral and slightly earthy. Great session beer. Would drink a lot of it.
