COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This American-style Pale Ale is brewed in true California fashion. Pale golden in color with a hoppy bouquet of orange blossom, honeydew and grapefruit zest, this light to medium-bodied brew has a light, bread-like character and finishes dry, with lingering notes of green tea and passionfruit.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear orange hued body with a very small and fading white head that fades to a ring and leaves low lace. Thankfully the appearance is probably the weakest aspect of this beer. Aromas show a massive hop bouquet, herbal, tangerine, spicy citrus, baked apple, low malt. Very nice indeed! Flavors show a medium to medium light bitterness, but lots of hop character: floral, tangerine, zesty citrus, lightly faded melon, very light malt, low esters. Obviously very fresh hop wise, but there is a very light oxidative character already showing in the bottle. It is only very slight and out of place (possibly a bottling issue). Lower carbonation, medium bodied and dry. Surprisingly good!

womencantsail (6859) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - FEB 1, 2013
Cloudy orange pour with a white head. Orange peel, floral hops, grass, and some fish food. Bready malt, toast, and a light pine note. The flavor is sweet bread up front with pine bitterness on the finish. Floral hops, citrus peel, and a bit of grass. A light savory note on the finish.

kathouse (571) - Nevada, USA - DEC 28, 2012
Orange to amber with a foaming head that quickly dies down. Plenty of grapefruit and citrus in the aroma, but a definite grassy note as well. Slightly over bitter masking the sweet malt flavor. Some bready character like the description but the finish lingers more on the grapefruit and citrus.

bhensonb (8954) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 16, 2012
Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours light amber with a slight creamy white head. There’s a lot of citrus in the aroma. Near med body. Flavor starts with light fruit and booms on into heavy grapefruit rind. There’s not a great deal of malt, but there’s a load of hop flavor. It is pretty tasty ale. Finishes bitter.

basic, overly bitter pale ale. Easy to drink, but not as flavorful as many of the pale ales on the market

This is a pale ale that is definitely on the fruity side but it works quite well. Lots of grapefruit which I love and easy to drink. Really nice.
