Mild nose of hops and malt. Copper colored body. Flavor is nicely hoppy and is balanced off by a spicy maltiness.

Bottled. Red/Amber/Orange. Small head. Aromas are malty. Flavor is good and easy, sessionable beer as it’s only 5.5%. A good decent mild red pale ale.

12z bottle. Clear with a ruby, orange hue. Finger width of off white head. Sweet citrus hop nose. Sugar and caramel as well. Mild malt roast with a definite citrus hop note. Lively and crisp. Malt side is sweet with a sugar and caramel flavor. The hops have a resinous, fruity, piny flavor.

12 oz. bottle. Pours clear orange/amber with pillowy, off-white head, half a finger. Citrus and caramel nose orange and slight choclate chip. Nice caramel malt body with mild hint of chocolate malt, followed by a moderate to high bitter and lots of piny, citrusy, and spicy hop flavor. Great body and good lacing. This is a huge surprise of an American Pale Ale. I really wasn’t expecting this. Much better than standard, and bordering on very good. Nice surprise. I shall get more!

Bottle. Light, hazy copper pour with a lasting off-white, frothy head. Fairly simple aroma of citrus and grain, mostly grapefruit, orange and cookie. The flavor is lightly to moderately bitter, lightly sweet and moderately acidic. Bitter finish. Very dry to the point of being slightly metallic. Medium body and watery texture. Lively carbonation. Nice enough. Straightforward APA with nothing to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack other than a lack of glaring flaws.
