Pours hazy orange with a white head. Aromas and flavors of grassy hops, citrus, and caramel malts. Standard pale ale but lacks any real hop flavor.

on tap @Doughertys-pours an offwhite head with amber color. Aroma is light/medium malt-caramel/bready. Taste is light/medium malt-caramel/bready, 2nd herbal/citrus hop. Easy.

Bottle. Clear copper with salt crystal type-sediment and white head. Aromas of caramel, grass, citrus. Flavors of caramel, toast, earth, citrus, cardboard. Drier finish. Oxidized taste. Very little hoppage. Medium body with slick mouthfeel and moderate, soft carbonation. More English than American pale ale. Just because you throw in some Cascade, doesn’t make it American.

Draft at Wine & Food Fest (A.C.): Poured a dark amber with a white head. The aroma was pale malts, honey, and hops. The flavor was honey, hops, caramel, and sweet malts. Overall, a decent beer. A little too sweet and not enough hops for me.

12 oz bottle from Oak Tree. Okay this brewery just started bottling so this is fresh but this can’t be the product that they wanted to put out. Poured ALL bright white head and I had to wait ten minutes for it to settle down enough before there was any actual liquid beer in my tulip. Aroma of old stale rotting bread in a pile of used band aids and rusting metal. Flavor was just about as good. DRAINPOUR!!!

honey sweet and malty with a crisp mouthfeel and vibrantly foamy head. short on hops but wih a mild fruity taste that is only remotely citrus in character. kinda like a sharp and tangy octoberfest since it has a bit of smoothness and is refined. low aroma yet, i wish my hometown brewery the best of a future!

Draft. Pours amber with an off white head. The aroma has sweet caramel malts and light hoppy notes. The flavor is well balanced with floral hops and lightly sweet pale malts. Pretty good.

Growler. Clear, amber-red-gold pour with a mild, white head. Classic pale malt aroma with some honey and caramel. Sweet flavor with strong bread, honey and caramel notes, along with some citrus hops towards the end. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes sweet, slightly juicy, with maybe hints of maple. Pretty good.

Bottle. Clear amber pour. Nose is caramel malts, apple and hops. Taste is apple, candy sugar, caramel malts and hops.

Light, hazy brown tone. Sweetly bitter and hoppy. A very nice offering from this new brewery. Perfect on a hot day watching the World Cup.
