Pours a copper-orange color with an amazing thick head that stands well over the rim of the glass. Lots of sticky lacing is left behind has the head slowly drops. The aroma is reserved, with faint citrus hops over a solid malt backbone. The taste is full of grape fruit zestiness, with toasted malts. There’s lingering grassy hop bitterness left in the aftertaste. This is an easy to drink beer with a strong but not over-powering flavor profile. I can see coming back to this one, especially on a warm summer afternoon.

Jun 12, 2008 This American Pale Ale pours a light gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel malts and citrus and floral hops. A medium bodied Pale Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are citrusy and grapefruity. Nice balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jun 10, 2008 Pours a transparent bronze with a spotty-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and fairly fresh grassy piny hops. Body starts fairly full and pale malty sweet with some mild bittering and flavor hops before a drier bittersweet finish. A pretty smooth and drinkable pale ale.

May 29, 2008 Bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours amber with a one finger head. Decent retention and lacing. Fairly nicely balanced aroma. Assertive hops in the taste... pine. Bitter, slightly nutty, vegetal and earthy. Not really any sweetness to speak of.
