I remain unimpressed with the organically-produced beers I’ve rated. This "pale ale" was more reminiscent of a witbier to me than a hoppy-styled beer. This beer poured a slightly hazy orange color, with a Sprite-like head that faded to a puffy cloud-like head after a few minutes. Aroma was really strange for a pale ale - I got a lot of coriander and (not very pale ale-like) citrus-ness. In other words, its aroma was very much like a witbier rather than a pale ale. Flavor was similarly confusing - a bit hoppy but with some other witbier - like flavors. Mouthfeel was unremarkable. I can’t say I’d recommend this beer. I bought it as a single-serve bottle at Woodman’s in Oak Creek, WI.

Poures a clear orange color with a small off white head. Aroma was pretty mild, a bit hoppy and grassy. Flavor tastes like water and hops, very strange.

Bottle. Nothing real special here. Slightly below average APA. Decent hop filled aroma. Taste was mild hoppiness. Just ok

Sampled on draft this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a large white head that lingers. The aroma was bitter fruity hops. The flavor was dry, bitter and buttery with a long buttery finish. Not good.

Bottle shared by cdumler that apparently came from the Total Wine in Chantillty, VA. Hazy peach color with a small head. Decent lacing. Grain, caramel and citrus aroma. Taste of strong grain with notes of caramel, citrus and tea. Thick, papery mouthfeel.

Organic Beer Tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee Home Run here for and Organic ! and a damn fine Pale in it’s own right. Good hit of hop along with a clean freash taste.
