The flavour and aroma of Citra, Centennial, Chinook and Simcoe hops prevail without excessive bitterness for maximum drinkability. Malt sweetness of Pale Ale, Crystal Carafoam and Wheat Flakes in the background complements the hops for a crisp finish.

On tap at Barley Brothers. Pours a clear yellow gold with a a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a nice earthy citrus with a bit of sweet citrus and a light grain backbone. Flavor has a real nice citrus note with a bit of bread and some sweetness.

On tap at beer bistro. A crystal clear copper gold. Herbal, pine and citrusy hop bouquet. Nice full mouthfeel, fairly softly smooth body. The taste is a clean bitterness, nicely balanced fruity & pine hop notes. A superior & clean pale ale.

Rating is a weird thing. I always feel like a couple of the criteria are gimmes. Mostly Appearance. What in the world is a bad looking beer? Cloudy? Too dark or light? Not enough head? None of those really. But with Rhyme and Reason poured into my curved Junction English Pint glass this beer looked unbelievable. It was a lovely golden near the edges of the glass, and through the center, an orange. A thin, yet dense white head that was president, literally, topped it off. That’s a five. The beer itself had a nice nose of hops citrus, and a little resin. The taste was hoppy, citrus, resin and floral. Strong but not overwhelming. The malts in the flavours are simple breads and cereal. Nice finish with some hops bitterness. Really good beer. It just made my regular rotation.

Bottle at Supermarket, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma and flavour brings out fresh doughy malts, sweet cereal, and piney hops. Good solid pale, but nothing overly special.
