Bottle... Poured orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma of fruit, grains and malt. Tastes of a very mild pale ale. Contains bread-like hops but just needs a little more to pull it off. Finishes with lingering, tangy malt.

Sep 2, 2008 Strong malt for a pale, though once again, this one is conservatively made. A great malt backbone saves this one but still comes up short.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle at Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary, AB. Pours a golden straw colour with a 2 finger foamy white head. Aroma of weat, grass, and faint hints of citurs and nuts. Flavour is sweet, a bit watery and earthy. Normal mouthfeel. This is a good beer and is much better than the Seattle Pale Ale in my opinion. WOuld drink again if I get the chance.

Jul 14, 2008 12oz bottle, no date from riversideAK. Clear golden orange with a 1/2 finger white head, fading to a fing and thin film rather quickly. More hops than I’d expected--pine and florals with some biscuity malts and honey in the background. Flavor was pretty much the same with the moderate hop presence turning more piney, and plenty of sweet biscuity malts and honey on the malt end. Bitterness peaked around a 3 1/2 in the back corners of my tongue. Low carbonation with a light body. I’m going to mirror Naven’s comment that I was pleasantly surprised, and would have no problem sessioning this for a night.
