Commercial Description:
Our Pale Ale uses the best European and American hops and a blend of "plump" two-row barley. As a result our beer has fragrant aromas with a hint of caramel malt.

Bought this on a whim while in Napa Valley. Pours to a slightly hazy, very pale yellow, with thin white head that lingers tio mid-glass. Aroma is hoppy fruit (apples, lemons and grapes) mixed with a floral bouquet and a hint of malt. Actually a nice full mouthfeel that led into a taste that accented the fruits of the nose. FInished off pleasantly. This wouldn’t be a bad session beer.

Sampled at Barrios’ Sausage Fest 2010! Semi-clear golden straw pour with minimal ring of near white head. Very floral aroma with green apples. Flavor is like potpourri and lavender. Very unique, but not sure if I actually care for it. The hops have become metallic.

Pours a lasting ring of off-white head with a clear, golden-amber body. Aroma of grassy hops. Some caramel notes in flavor. Decently bitter finish.

Light pale gold in color. Smells of popcorn salt and a freshly opened bag of potato chips. Also notes of fresh pears. Upon tasting: Some light sour notes, definitely lemon slushy. Odd slushy pattern to tonight’s tasting.

~Fruity, tart, rasberry scent, little malt. ~Pours a slightly cloudy gold color with soft creamy white head. ~Lightly tart fruitiness in flavor well balanced with some sweet malt. ~Med body. med carbonation. Sweet tart finish. ~I think this pale ale is great! Not what I expected. I really like the hops used here. I wish I knew what they are. I enjoy the tart berry character.

Bottle, from Wine Warehouse. Pours toasted orange in color, with a small white head and lacing. Aroma is earthy, lightly hopped, blossomy, with minerally notes. Palate is light, creamy through the middle, finishing soft. Flavor has a rather interesting blend of rose water, creamy malt, and fruitiness. Pretty interesting little pale ale, delicate rather than bold.

Dry lager-like bitterness, palatable, not interesting. Not much hop beyond the bitter.
