Bottle. This is a very good pale ale. Gold, color with a medium head. Aroma is a very, very slight spruce and citrus with a floral note to it. Nice taste with the same floral note to it. Pretty good.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/27/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Classic Cascade hop profile on a nice bready malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Bottle from Crown Wine & Spirits, Cookeville, Tennessee. Golden with a small head. Crisp, with its strength only a factor in giving it a good body, otherwise its taste is a pleasantly hoppy with a gritty edge to it.

Fairly weak pale, missing much of the sticky, Pacific Northwest Cascade hop loveliness they crow about on the label. Starts almost like a straight golden ale, apple esters and bright, biscuity malt adding a fruity, bread-n-butter front, only to see a mild floral bitterness round out the middle. Finishes dull, the hops adding a touch of piney bitterness but mainly rounding out a middlin’ beer. Texture’s a bit light, nose leans towards bready malt. Makes me appreciate Sierra Nevada Pale Ale all the more.

Bottle filled 6/2 so almost 5 months old. Tulip. A: Pours a finely hazed orange gold with rapidly falling bubbly head but lasting ring. Active bubbles and falling sheets of lace. S: A light scent of pine and sweet tangerine zest. T: Bitter pine quickly overtaken by bitter/sweet orange pith and flesh. Lingering pith, zest bitterness along with malt toast. M: Light thin body with crisp carbonation and dry clean finish. No resin. O: Not exceptional but a very nice pale ale widely available and well priced = easily recommended.

Gold colored beer with a small head. Average hop flavor. Decent overall, but definitely not something super memorable.

Reviewed from notes. Rcvd in trade.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a nice hazy golden orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light slightly foamy lacing trying to cling to the sides of the glass but sliding for the most part.
The smell had a nice light blend of sweet malts to slightly aggressive citrus hops.
The taste was bittersweet all the way through with a fairly dry bitter citrus aftertaste and just a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but not limited to letting some light smooth crispness to roll around the tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good APA worthy of having again.

12 oz. bottle. Pours pale gold with a medium, off-white head. The aroma is bread, apples, and pine and citrus hops. The flavor is fairly bitter and sourdough. The palate is light to medium, watery, and sticky. Overall, this is a lighter, pretty refreshing beer, but nothing special.

Pours gold onto a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to Skim surface. Sweet caramel aroma. Crisp and dry with caramel and biscuit front to back.
