Regionally grown American pale malt is blended with rich European malts to produce a lighter bodied beer, bright in color, with a taught white head that keeps track of time as you sip. Then there are the hops – four pounds per barrel to be exact. Willamettes, Cascades, CTZ and Summits give this brew a citrus punch and spicy character that greets you in the nose and embraces your mouth with a clean, crisp bitterness.

Can thanks to a trade! Pours a near clear amber orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a combination of citrus and pine with a hint of onion and a grain backbone. Flavor has a light citrus and grass note with a touch of onion and a slightly sweet grain backbone.

Pours cloudy, orange gold with a small, off-white head. Scent is orange peel. Taste is malt, bitter orange, resin. Not much beyond the hops, which are a bit dull feeling.

Bottle courtesy of Atom. Sweet tropical fruit, fresh juicy citrus as well as a little rind, bready caramel malt aroma. Hazy honey gold with a large off white head, thick creamy lacing. Flavor very similar to aroma with bready caramel malt, citrus rind, sweet tropical fruit, and some slightly resinous hops. Medium to full body, soft carbonation.

355mL can, sent from khoffman43 (thanks a lot, Kyle), pours a hazy golden with a small just-off-white head. Very inviting aromatics, full of floral hops, a bit of resin, and some crisp crackery malt. Flavour brings out dry, citrusy, floral and very grassy hops upfront, with some crisp crackery malt in back just to balance things. Drinks very easily, with a nice dry, crisp mouthfeel, leaving a mild astringency on the finish. Very solid pale ale.

12 oz can purchased at Zipp’s in Minneapolis, Minnesota and gifted to me by Tim. Canned on 10/28/12 according to the sticker on the six pack holder. Pours hazy golden with a strong thick head. The head leaves behind nice lacing. Aroma is nicely clean hops, the hops are slightly sweet and a mix of bright citrus and light pine. Fresh, clean and nice. Flavor follows suit with a nice sweet grapefruit peaking through a light bubblegum hoppiness. Has a medium bitterness. Malt... what malt? The palate is light bodied with ample carbonation. Nice hop drink, I would like a bit less bitterness and a little more of that grapefruit. Poured into an 8oz mini nonic, thanks Tim.

12 oz can purchased at Zipp’s in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Canned on 10/28/12 according to the sticker on the six pack holder (nice solution to the dating challenge). The pour is a lightly hazed golden orange with a smallish white head. The head leaves behind nice lacing. The aroma is bright and fresh grapefruit bitterness, resin and a gentle pine. Soft grassy malt underneath is present as well. The taste is a really nice balance between the grapefruit resin and pine bitterness and the cracker grass malt. A tiny hint of caramel sweetness comes out as the beer warms. The palate is light bodied, soft natural carbonation, and a great dry grass and bitter finish. Super easy drinking Pale Ale, crisp, clean and fresh. Right up my alley. Thanks to Tyler, and my Dad, for the assist on this one. Reminded me of Victory Headwaters, which I also love.
