This is a strong pale, yet smooth and easy on the finish. Four different barley malts lend a rich amber color and create a backdrop to showcase the distinctive citrus-like flavor and floral aroma of horizon, Centennial and cascade hops. Although this pale could almost be named an IPA with its hoppy ingredients, the body of this beer remains reasonable and avoids and overwhelming bitterness.

Bottle: Pours a lighter copper orange color with a smaller sandy head. Tons of sticky lacing. Aroma is a mild, pleasant blend of caramel sweetness and floral hops. Tastes sweet, yet the florals take the foreground. Light lingering bitterness. Not great, but much better than the others I tried from MRB.

Bottle from alldaydrinker; Nose of light floral hops, caramel, with a little vanilla; lightly hazy amaber with a good sized biege head; flavor has some background hop bitterness masked partially masked by caramel and a little sweetness for a delicate balance. Preety darn drinkable!
