Commercial Description:
This top fermenting amber-colored ale is brewed using generous amounts of malt and kettle hops. The trademark of this ale is its beautiful hop bouquet and taste that comes from a liberal dry hopping of the highest grade Cascade hops during the secondary fermentation. The malt firmness of this ale comes from the perfect mixture of two-row malted barley, carapils, and caramel specialty malts. The ale has an original gravity of 1060 and is fermented at 65 degrees farenheight which imparts the classic ale fruitiness to the brew.

12oz brown bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester as part of this brewery’s sampler 8-pack. Pours amber-orange with a thin film of off-white head. Smells piney and citrussy with biscuit and caramel present in the background. Tastes strongly citrusy, piney, and caramel. Flavor is appealing and well-balanced. Medium in body with ample carbonation. A solid APA for sure - nothing more, nothing less.

Light amber color with a thin white head. Skunky with a mild citrus aroma, pale taste with a bitter finish and mild malty mouth feel

Nice looking pale ale. Almost medium-bodied, flavor is aight, but the finish is so sour it makes me feel like I’m sucking on a lemon. Would be an aight brew if it would have held up until the end.

This is a decent little pale ale, could be a little stronger on the body but drinks quite nicely for my money. Pours a hazy orangeish amber with a small white head, that recedes into some ample sticky lacing. Light toasted toffee nose, with some caramel maltiness, light floral and citrus hops. A very nice drinkable pale ale, to start off the night.

Pours a deep, clear amber with a prolific supply of rising bubbles and a frothy off-white head that laces fairly well. The nose is of pale caramel malt backed by a fruity hop note and a slightly "off" almost adjunct-like quality. I can’t quite put my finger on what this aroma reminds me of, but it is a bit of a detractor from an otherwise pleasant nose. Light to medium-bodied and quite soft despite the visible torrent of carbonation, the mouthfeel finishes just slightly metallic and lightly bitter. The flavor is of pale malt backed by grassy and fruity hops finishing again with a slightly metallic and bitter conclusion that lingers a few seconds after the swallow. This is a completely quaffable and decent brew. There’s nothing really "wrong" with it. It just doesn’t do a whole lot for me.

Bottle: Poured a yellow color with a little bit of head. The aroma was light hops and light citrus. The flavor was smooth, light hops, a touch of sweet and a touch of bitter spice. Overall, an easy drinking Pale Ale...very good!
