A sub par American pale. Nothing about it stands out. Aroma was kind of weak...hops is all you can pick up, but it’s faint. Pour was a typical dark gold with a thin white ring for a head. Taste was somewhat bitter with hops making the only slight appearance. Malt is nowhere to be found.

The bitterness in this one is a bit too stringent for me and more balance is needed. Its not a bad beer though. It has that perfume quality I sense in the other beers which is probably the malts. There is a lot of citrus here and carbonation.

Thought this was pretty good, actually. Crisp, a little tangy, fairly bitter.

Taste of citrus and mild cherry with a touch of hops at the finish.Overall just an average Pale Ale but a decent session ale.

Bottle sampled from Capones. Pours copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of pale malts, spices, and light fruitiness. The flavor is citrus, caramel, bread, and mild piney bitterness.

Bottle from Capone’s. Deep copper pour with 2-finger off-white head. Aroma is bready malt, hops, mango, black pepper. The flavor is hoppy, with tangerine, black pepper, and some caramel malt. Medium palate.

bottle- did not enjoy this at all. super sweet, and very macro lager like. hops nowhere to be found, replaced by a lot of sweet malt. flower power or IPAbbey is the way to go if you are trying stuff from this brewery.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with small white head. Decent lacing. Aroma is mildly hoppy with light fruits. Taste is medium bitter piney hops with a bready malt finish. Decent.
