This is a nice refreshing Pale Ale that has very little aroma and has light copper color.

Bottle [12oz]. Pours a clear deep golden-amber with an average size semi-lasting frothy white head. Aroma of grain first followed by bready malt, fruit and some light earthy hops. Slightly watery flavour of grain, caramel malt, fruit, light earthy hops and a mild, short bitter finish. Aroma and flavour are not nearly hoppy enough for the style or to my liking. Average to medium bodied. Nothing bad but nothing great about it, at best it’s an easy to drink Summer patio beer.

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you usually make a pale ale with hops? Because I’m not getting any. I can’t think of a pale ale I’ve ever had that had this little hoppiness to it. The tragic thing is this beer looks inviting but doesn’t deliver on any discernible level.

pours a pale copper color with a small head that leaves a thin film after almost dissappearing completly. caramel malts and slightly floral hops in the nose. taste is mild earthy hops. malts give it a bit of a bread taste. pretty decent pale ale.

bottle. clear orange. floral hop aroma. flavor was mostly floral with some biscuity pale. medium body. flavor simple flavored pale.

12oz bottle. Copper color, not too pale. Nice earthy hop, good Fuggles, honey and caramel malts. Very nice sweet malt character, good amount of toasted grains. Finishes with a smooth mellow bitterness. Very well balanced. i bought this bottle as a single... wishing I picked up the entire 6 pack. Well done.

I find this to be a standard pale, but that not a bad thing by any definition. Has a rich amount of caramel malts and slightly spicy hops. Taste is well within multiple drinks for a get together

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Medium amber brew with white head. Nice aroma of caramel hops and citrus hops. Taste is a bit of a disappointment following the aroma - light bready malt and a pleasant but weak hoppiness in the finish. Add a thin palate and you have a fine brew for quaffing but not the greatest example of a pale ale. But still - very refreshing an enjoyable.

Kinda weak for an APA. There’s nothing offensive about it, but the flavor is a bit flat. The malt is biscuity but watered down. Some pine resin bitterness and crystal malt. It’s easy to drink, but I wouldn’t seek one out.

The aroma is hoppy and malty with pine and caramel. The appearance is light amber with a large head. The taste is like the aroma, simple but effective. The palate is thin. Overall an easy drinking beer that I like.
