[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Brea, CA.] A hazy amber pour with a thick cream head; malty aroma; malty taste with a woody bitterness and a touch of citrus; with lingering bitterness and malt. Rather one-dimensional.

Has a dull hazy amber appearance, and a thick head. On the palate, it’s fairly chewy, with just a touch of earthy hop. Moderate bitterness. I would say more of a hoppy amber but ok.

Ambar - té en el color. Dos dedos de espuma blanquecina. Aromática frutal, mango. Lupulada. Suave al paladar, de amargor agradable pero relevante. Predominio frutal, con base malteada. Equilibrada, bebible y agradable.

Draft at Pinthouse Pizza. Pours clear deep gold with an off-white head. Aroma of bread and citrus. Taste is bread and citrus with cat litter notes. Not a fan.

OK! So excited to get a beer from alaska, right? Well, considering, in murhicka beers are easily available from ’round dah werld. Any who, drank it right from the bottle, pop it and drink it, assuming its clear pale yellow. Flavor? Yes, when you swig the big brew, you know the contents of this bottle is 5.7%, it shows it. Wants to be an IPA with all that hoppy bullshit but never quite gits thar. Yes, typical APA, its an IPA wanna bee. Let me tell yah, the mildest american APA are the best and well, this is quite an impression. It has too much personality to be a small town civilized APA, heheheh, do you think they do it better in old euro? Go figger; if you like mildly hopped IPA, this is fer yuooooooh.

Excellent american-style Pale Ale. Aroma is pretty good with fruity slightly resin Hops and some biscuiti caramel malt to balance it out. Appearances about average. Flavor is where it really shines with really good balanced flavors that are not overdone in any way but full and Rich. Excellent body and finish. Very good drinking beer.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is a nice pine resin hop with floral hops and some caramel malt. Flavor is some of the pine hop with some English style dry malt. A little hit of bitterness comes after the swallow. Decent old school type pale ale.

On Tap clear copper color. Heavy sticky beige head and lacing. Slightly toasted carmel malts, rather woody husky flavors. Decent bitterness more of a pine type of hop flavors. Pretty hefty for a pale.
