Commercial Description:
This is our flagship brew, a medium bodied pale ale with a signature copper color. Crisp, dry and hoppy. Very refreshing! Ride the Whale!

Draught at the brewery. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells and tastes lightly hoppy and earthy with some spicy elements and a toasty finish.

On tap at brewery. Tasted several of the offerings here and enjoyed them all but cannot remember any specifics. It’s always good to get fresh beer. Hopefully I can get myself back there to gather better rating info.

22 oz bottle, via BA ppoitras. Pours a clear dark gold body with a nice foamy one finger off white head that settled to a thin film. The nose is light bready and toasted malt with a very minimal floral hop nose. Light cooked veggies as it warmed up a bit. The flavor is of crusty bready malt, some light caramel, and a lightly bitter hoppiness. A little background vegetal note throughout, but becomes more pronounced as it warms further. Kind of dull tasting really. Mouthfeel is light bodied with a watery texture and fizzy prickly carbonation. Overall, not a particularly inspiring APA, it needs to have the hops kicked up a bit and have that vegetal streak cleaned up.

on tap-pours a disappearing white head and copper color. Aroma is mild hops, some medium malt. Taste is somewhat bitter/spicy hops, some medium malt-caramel. OK carbonation. 3.7 There was an issue with some of the bottled beer, but won’t adjust the rating at this point.
