Sometimes in life you have to focus all of your efforts on the future. Our Chapter 2 casual ale stands as an example to the new and the bold. A light and crisp body with a classic NW hop finish. All great stories have a second chapter.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: golden yellow/stiff orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some citrusy hop tones and light piney hop tones; light malts underneath
Flavor: medium level of bittersweetness combining the prior noted aromas; mild finish of citrus and some malts
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; some smoothness, light hop astringency
Overall: not a bad APA but nothing over the top.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear orange hue with a medium white head. A nice soft fruity nose. Toast, smooth flavorful citrus, mild to no bitterness. Very smooth. This is a very good pale ale. Super clean.

On tap slightly hazy deep golden. Thin skin of off white head and soapy lacing standard pale ale. Middle of the road bitterness and light pale malts. Not particularly fresh hoppy but clean and crisp

Can. Pale golden color with a moderate sandy head. Aroma is relatively mild, light fruity hops and a little malt. Tastes pretty tame… lightly sweet and very modest bitters. Citrus and light pine. Not bad at all, but very mild.

Can from Boise Co-op. Medium golden body, high foamy head. Aroma us cardboard, generic graininess. Taste is slightly better, somewhere between a pils and an APA. Mild bitterness at the finish. Kind of weak.

12oz can pours out a golden topped with a fluffy sand head. Nose is tropical fruit floral some melons and light malt. Taste is more of the nice hop combo along with a light bitterness on the end.

Golden. Pale, biscuity malts and pear hops...nice combo. Sweet canned pear taste, this is quite good, I like the balance.

On tap at April Brews Day, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is dry, with metallic notes, dusty hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is very faint, with biscuity malt and dusty hops. Pretty pointless beer, but it's okay.

Draft - Batch 2 - Weedy, pine hops. Clear gold with a rich white head. Tastes just as it smells, but very light body and a bit of resin and orange peel in the finish. Very drinkable.
