| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 16, 2009 Had this at Oskar Blues with their Heatseeker hamburger. This was the perfect complement to the burger. I like the way they balance hops with citrus and sweetness. Mouthfeel was crisp and the finish lingered on through the buffalo sauce.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 16, 2009 I first tried it from the can while fishing for salmon on the Kenai River in Alaska. This beer made the trip that much better, way better that drinking Bud Light like everyone else. I had to bring some home to taste out of a glass. What a great pale ale. The color is a beautiful copper with a white head, that leaves a little bit of lace. The floral hop aroma is right in your face and I love it. Some sweet malt, crystal I think, make an appearance. The taste is the same hops to start, malt in the middle, and just a little bitterness to finish. Well balanced and very drinkable. Svesse (2687), Hässelby, Sweden

Fruity, malty nose with notes of citrus, caramel and fresh hops. Fruity taste with orange peel, caramel, dried apricots and fresh hops in the finish. Medium body, generous bitterness, balanced sweetness. Very nice beer, one of the best to come out of a can. dankman38 (228), Somewhere in, Ohio, USA

This beer is one of the best balanced pale ales available today; well balanced, easy drinking and, available in cans. My only complaint is that it isn’t available locally.

What the hell was I thinking. This beer is fabulous. Woddy character complements the heavy hops very well. Smells just like it tastes with heavy piney and resiny hops, caramel, woody notes. The can really keeps the hop taste fresh. I have to admit it’s hard to get over the fact that it’s in a can, even though I know it’s better than a bottle. I always have low expectations pouring something out of a can.
