Bottle: Pours a dark golden color with a finger of off-white head. Inviting aroma of sweet caramel and citrus fruits. Flavor is sweet and citrus fruity up front with a drier, almost rye and floral tale. Finishes a little on the soapy side. Drinkable, but could see some refinement. Thanks Lithy.

Bottle. A timid pale ale compared to many other APAs I have had. It is more malty than hoppy with a slightly off-putting vegetal character. Still, an easy-drinking ale despite it being far from crisp and clean. Golden/yellow, slightly hazy body with a thin, off-white head. Light aroma of caramel and floral hops along with a hint of canned corn. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Very little bitterness in the finish, a finish that is lightly sweet. Light to medium body with a smooth mouthfeel and slightly tingly carbonation. The aftertaste has a bit of canned corn juice flavor.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Pour is orange red with only a slight haze, and a 1/2 inch white head. Aroma is a little piney, and a little biscuity malt. Taste is more of the aroma, piney hops and biscuit malt. There is a bit of a sour - bitter hop finish, which is quite nice. Good solid palate. Overall tasted somewhere between and English and American Pale Ale, regardless, really well done and tasty.

This pours a nice pale gold color that supports a nice head. Malt aroma behind a good, strong, floral hop forground. Starts off sweet and ends with a satisfying hoppy bitter dryness in the finish. I’d like to see this one become one of the regular offerings.
