Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home mid-week and needing this, but enjoying the nice summer weather! Good pale ale for this one, goes down with a great crisp finish, slightly hoppy, good stuff!

Crisp copper coloured body with a thick, five centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of metal, light hops, crisp nutty malt and a bit of resin - nice. Medium-bodied; Grassy and nutty hop flavours coupled with some decently strong malt flavours and ending with a little nuttiness, but a good shaped malt backbone. Aftertaste shows some light caramelised sugar sweetness and a touch from fruit, but the malt still overpowers the hops throughout. Overall, a decent APA with a large nuttiness and a touch of resinous bitterness at the end. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 28-March-2015 for US$1,99 (received into Total Wine on 04-March-2015) sampled at home in Washington on 14-June-2015.

Thanks Scott.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a light foamy lacing sticking around the sides of the glass decently.
The smell had a semi - sweet malty citrus over top of a light piney bitter hops.
The taste took all of those previously mentioned flavors to blend nicely. A dry sweet citrus aftertaste leads to a decent sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation good for the style and for me as it’s not too sharp.
Overall, I say this was a decent APA that I could have again.

Can from Total Wine in Lynwood, WA. Pours bright gold with a hint of orange and a slight white head. Aroma of light roast malt and some nice stone fruit and possibly tropical fruit. Med body at least. Flavor indicates tropical fruits, and there is a roasty malt backbone. It has some hop bite. It’s not wholly dry, and it’s not extremely bitter, but it’s a pretty tasty beer. Good for when the taster needs a bit of relaxation.

12 ounce can. Honey gold color with a moderate creamy beige head. Grainy, fruity malt nose with a hint of melon. Slightly tart with notes of corn syrup and papaya. Sweet malt dominates early. Citrus hops appear in finish. Interesting and very drinkable.

Can. A- Tangerines, citrus, hoppy, piney, woody. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Citrus, bitter, pine, tangerines. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth finish. O- Not near as bitter as I was expecting. A fair amount of citrus, but not really that much depth.

Cardinal Pale Ale from Nebraska Brewery pours a beautiful copper gold with a foamy white head. Served in a pint glass it has a piney resinous aroma with hints of grapefruit. Medium bodied with a somewhat scratchy mouthfeel that says "I am here". In terms of flavor it is a clean zesty pine with a dash of citrsu/grapefruits and possibly some floral/herbal elements in the finish. A solidly satisfying pale ale.
