keith0718 (434) - Kansas, USA - APR 21, 2013Growler. Consumed same day. This would be a decent hoppy pale ale, except for the fact that it is virtually flat.
TomDecapolis (4619) - Milton, Delaware, USA - JAN 7, 2013Pours a mostly translucent copper with a smaller white head. Aroma of citrus, mango and light caramel malt. Flavor is dry and hoppy. Really well done pale ale. The citrusy and tropical fruit hop notes shine. Some bready malt poking through.
mdntklrmth (34) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - OCT 30, 2012Ah, Free State. I'm proud to have you in my back yard. This beer is nice. Simple. Damn simple. Not a lot of malts thrown at you and not a lot of hops. And the simplicity works. Light straw-amber in color and brilliantly clear, this beer goes down great after a mountain bike ride. Clean tasting and some slightly fruity hop character, this beer is not too bitter. It's refreshing. I'd call it a pale ale even though it's classified as an IPA.
ads135 (5323) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - APR 22, 2012Very good pale ale. I wish this was available more often. Pungent hop aroma. Pours golden yellow. Tangy and delightful.
