A nice clear amber body with a slightly off white head that had great retention and decent lace. Aroma had a mild caramel malt base and a nice citrus hop note. Flavor was similar. A slight dryness to the finish but mostly smooth. A two-dimensional beer that would make a good session beer.

22oz bottle in a lager glass. Pours golden/amber with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel and pale malts, a little fruitiness, and some floral hops. Flavor the same. Average texture. Not a bad pale ale.

From the 22 fl.oz. bottle. It pours a handsome looking copper-amber with a generous, long lasting, soapy off-white head. The aroma begins sweet with a touch of earthy hops playing about in the background. The body is medium. The taste begins sweet but almost immediately becomes moderately bitter thanks to the hop infusion. A nice pale ale.

Sampled at Julio’s during a beer tasting festival. Found this to be a bit on the thin side and an overall very average pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber gold with a thin white head. Nice soft hops, a touch of malt and toast. Slightly earthy hop notes. Medium bodied, earthy hops, but not too big. Malt and a nice amount of toast. Slow bitter finish. Good easy drinking pale ale.

Pours hazed gold into a shaker. White meringue head with excellent retention recedes to foam surface. Sweet roasted hay and caramel aromas. Crisp with upfront sour grass turning to a slight bitter pith finish.
