Smells ok, then kind of downhill from there. Light hopping for a very refreshing Pale Ale. Good example of this style for sure.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is hoppy, a little flowery and pine. A copper amber color, clear. Malty, but still balanced towards the hops without being overdone. Bitter, dry finish. Clean and drinkable. Very nice.

On draft at PB Taproom. Arrives a mostly clear dark amber color with a moderate whitish head that left some nice lacing. Aroma of toasty malts and gentle piney, resiny notes. Flavor is toasty-bitterish and caramel malts, with more of the piney and resiny hops. Light to medium body and tingly carbonation. Well balanced and servicable if unremarkable pale ale.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber with a slightly tanned head and perfect lacings. Quite bitter with hoppy aromas of resin a hint of plant sap. Has a fresh sourness too. Not my favourite hopsprofile.

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours an orangish amber color with a thin white head, some lace. Smells perfectly balanced between the hops and malts. Taste is awesome, hoppy but not quite an IPA, nice and bitter. Plenty of earthy, sweet malts on the finish to back up all the hops. It’s like SNPA but with more character and depth. Medium body, good active carbonation. Awesome beer.

tap, Carlsbad, dunno why i picked this up, but it is alright--lemon, melon, pine, caramel, with the citrus/hops popping out more, but with this soapy quality; mild, overall, not in style; good to drink, but nothing to get excited; then again, with a name like Palapa, i was hoping for an easier to swallow, and exotic, ale, while it is to me a bit big and hard.
