poured from very affordable $4 22oz - Solid pale ale: fresh, crisp, pine, and slightly bitter. Can’t complain about a decent four dollar pale ale.

Pours a nice golden copper color with a white dense head that shows it’s beautiful legs on the glass. Rich pithy chewy hops up front on the nose. Immediately, it’s rather citrusy, but as it sits a spell, a deep piney aroma seems to overtake the aroma providing a lush satisfying hop presence in the nose. This has a nice bitter bite to it but it is also fairly balanced with the sweet malts. The mouthfeel is a bit watery as is the finish, but overall, it’s a pretty decent APA.

Pours a light amber with just a slight head that quickly gives way without much lacing. Typical piney hops aroma chacteristic of the "Four c’s". Nothing special but a good, solid IPA.

draft at TBK- damn fine pale ale- the hops were a bit muted, but very appropriate for the style- citrus domination- with slight resin- nicely done.

Thanks to PWoods for sharing from his growler. I have no idea why they call this a pale ale. This is more like a pretty big IPA. And I like it. Plenty of piney and juicy hops all over the place in this one. Plenty of bitterness but still remains very balanced. Decent body and non-cloying. I could drink an awful lot of this. Very well done. I will have to stop in and try some more of their beers.

Really nice pale. Pours cloudy orange leaves nice lace behind. Aroma is sweet and piney. Caramel notes in the taste with a bitter finish.

Amber pour with a small off white head. Great hop aroma balanced with a sweet malt finish. The hops are a little more subdued on the tongue, and the malt finish brings a good balance to the beer. A solid apa.

Bottle courtesy of miketd. Pours a hazy amber-orange color. Moderate white head with decent retention and mild lacing. Strong hoppy aroma of pine, floral and citrus hops. Flavor is noticeably hoppy, with plenty of citrus, pine and grassy notes. But at the same time, the hops don’t completely dominate the flavor, leaving fruity and sweet caramel notes. Medium mouthfeel with a slightly dry, bitter finish. An excellent APA.

Bottle at Craig?s house. Medium golden colour. Not too much gas. A larger head that went away.
