Lasting , minute-bubbled head provides a curtain of lace. Amber color and nearly clear. Good blend of light colored malts and floral hop. The taste is more hoppy than the smell. Bitter aftertaste. A solid pale ale whose only demerit is the thin body.

This was the best of the lineup. There was ample head with excellent retention. A very fresh hop aroma. The hops come across with a bit of an orange smell. There is a lingering hop bite, but it’s only moderate at best. Still a standout in this lineup. It was a good pairing with the shrimp and grits on the menu.

Nice copper colour. Diacetyl and light caramel malt on the nose. Modestly hopped. Dishrag taste. Dirty draught lines maybe, or early diacetyl onset, or both. I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt in my scoring.

Rich copper hue with thick tan head and lacing. Aroma is leafy and earthy and also nutty. Good carbonation level. Flavors have a bit of dirty dishrag and rust. Beneath the flaws are some good hops.

On tap at Southend Brewery. Arrived at the table a clear amber with no head. Mild aroma of malt and not much else. Flavor is mild malt up front, quickly followed by some grapefruit. There was some bread at the finish, which I liked. Light bitterness lingers for a bit after the swallow. Close to being an IPA, but not quite there. Good pale ale.

The beer had a promising smell and appearance to it. The flavor however was very watery with a splash of hops. Not great by any means.

A copper colored pale medium body and slight citrus hop nose. Flavor is pretty balanced between hopsd and malt. Something I do appreciate. Nice crisp clean finish.
