(Bottle, best before 1/12) Pours slightly cloudy orange-amber. Three fingers of rocky, lightly-amberish off-white head. Aroma of citrusy hops over caramel and vanilla. Mouthfeel fairly smooth, medium-thin. Flavor of citrusy hops with caramel, vanilla, light bread and a bit of egginess. Medium-light bitterness overlays and provides a pinch in the finish.

Bottle. Pours clear light amber with a thin white head. A little citrus and pine with caramel in the aroma. Medium body, fine carbonation. Crisp and dry finish,

The same golden color that most pale ales are. Filtered and clear. White foam. Smells like an old root cellar. Organic and malty. Bland, tart, and grassy, and malty. A very malty and pure beer.

6 pack from local Market Basket. Somewhat hazy orange color in a pint. Nose of citrus. Little head, nearly no lace. Flavor is malt upfront, buttery, and very slight grassy hops. Less hoppy than I would have guessed. OK.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dirty orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet candy, fruits (sugary apple and pear), sweet malt. Flavor of raisin, prunes, sweet caramel malt. Sweet and a little sugary but it is drinkable. Not your typical hoppy pale ale. It was ok overall. 7/4/6/4/14 [3.5/5]

12 oz bottle, part of a mixed 12 pack. Pours a light amber/orange with a 1/2" white head. Grassy aroma with light fruit, apples. First few sips have an apple taste, then settles out to grassy hops. Light, fizzy body. Almost soda like. Not bad.

Pretty nice standard pale ale that i had at the GFs sisters wedding. Nice light hop profile with a good smooth malt.

An average APA, nothing great in this brew. Citrus flavor, not bitter or hoppy for an APA, not complex or balanced. But drinkable.
