Can. Deep golden body with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, resin, pine, toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Fairly routine stuff. Hop forward taste of grapefruit, pine, lingering bitterness.

16 oz. can thanks to Eric S. Aroma shows light citrus, mild caramel malt and like a pine needle type hint. The flavor has a big malt base with a gritty texture. Flavor has a lingering earthy hint with a thinner texture that becomes dry. Floral hints.

16 ounce can into pint glass, no canning date. Pours moderately hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of lemon zest, tangerine, orange peel, floral, grass, bread, light caramel, light pine, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with very well balanced hop and malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon zest, tangerine, orange peel, floral, grass, pine, bread, light caramel, and floral earthiness. Good amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, floral, grass, pine, bread, light caramel, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and robustness of citrus/pine hops; with a moderate malt balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbontion and body; with a smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with no warming present after the finish as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a very nice session pale ale! Nice balance and robustness of hop and malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Got this bad boy in a trade. 16oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear light amber with a finger of off white head. Aroma of grains and light citrus. Taste is light bitter. Earthy and herbal hops with some grains. Medium bodied with a slightly slick texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, pretty good. I’d drink it again.

Sample at Kalamazoo Beer Exchange. Clear golden-amber pour with a medium foamy white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing. The aroma consists of citrusy hops and malt. Light body with a mildly bitter hops character and notes of grapefruit and malt. The finish is lightly hoppy with a fruity aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Had on draft at different locations in the breweries limited distribution area where we had meals. This is a good session beer and went well with our pub grub meals--fish/chips, burgers, etc.

Can. Pours a slightly dingy gold with little head and aromas of light malt and a little bit of herbal/resin hops. Flavor is simple pale ale with simple hops that are fairly bitingly bitter, but not very directional. Decent and uninspiring, but very drinkable.

(Original rating: 12/30/11) Sample at Right Brain. Pours a foamy and light gold with little aromas... maybe a hint of butterscotch and honey. Flavor is pretty similar. Boring and directionless, but definitely beer.

Draft @ Right Brain Brewery. Golden colour, white head. Aroma is hoppy and sour. Flavour is hoppy, bit of pine. Refreshing. Bit citrus, juicy. Good stuff.
