this is a recent favorite. enjoyed on tap at the great lost bear. pours a caramel hue with a gluey head. first sip hints of citrus cascades with a subtle sweet malt backing. while the hops preside, the maits make this one unique. a great brew, finely crafted!

A great session beer. Perfect balance between hoppy and smooth. The site says its a mix between a west coast and english style pale ale. This comes out clearly in the taste. Very citrusy but smooth as well. Kudos to them.

Pours with a translucent but hazy amber body with a half inch of off-white head. Smells malty, fruity, caramel, and butterscotch. Roasty caramel and chocolate malts play a big role with a fair bit of supporting diacetyl and fruity flavor. Unlike in many beers, the diacetyl actually helps this beer. Very balanced. The flavors mix, but also come through individually one at a time at different places in the mouth throughout a good sip in a way that few beers do. Medium in body with a bit less carbonation than expected. Overall this makes a good EPA and a tasty beer.

Nice color and head on the pour. This is a hoppy pale ale that finishes surprisingly smooth. Good citrusy nose. A really nice organic beer

Very impressed with this organic beer. Pours kind of light, but carries a nice middle of a hop punch and follows with a tasty, smooth finish. Leaves a very nice hop aftertaste in the mouth. In these hop-crazy days it is refreshing to find beers that still care about balance and drinkability. I will drink this all the time.
