Can. It pours a clear, golden body and a small, dense, off-white head. Lightly citrusy nose with some caramel in the back. Some citrus peel and resin in the flavor, and of course bitterness, else it’s more or less like the aroma, with caramel as a foundation for the hops. Medium body, dry. Not my idea of an American pale ale, but it’s drinkable and far from foul. 120622

Bottle. Medium orange amber, sediment delivers a bolus of small particles that stay in suspension. Chunky white head that laces decently. Aroma is pretty muted actually, even after sufficient air time: soapy and grassy notes mix with papery caramel. Caramel base, some light pine and grapefruit (quite light), dry bitter finish ending on a boxboard note.

Could not control the pour on this beer. The head was like ice cream and the smallest addition to the glass caused it ti expand exponentially. The carbonation effected every aspect of the experience. Beer was cloudy, expected to see a yeast layer on the bottom but there was none. Fail.
