Bottle, pours clear pale amber, small off white head, some lacing. Aroma is faint pine, caramel. Flavor is the same, light sweet, medium bitter, a bit metallic. Light body.

Single 12 oz. bottle, $1.50 @ HyVee, Carroll, IA. Rather promising start. Smell under cap and in the glass lets loose some nice American hops in courteous proportions. Color is the light end of the Pale Ale spectrum, a little hazy, with some packed, small bubbles in the foam. Taste? Sure, it’s good. Nice brace of Cascades up front. Malts are a little thin and stingy against the hops, befitting the standard abv. Seems to have been force carbonated, giving it a fizzy soda mouthfeel, which I haven’t much cared for in a hoppy beer. Still, this is worth a try.

12 oz. bottle. Aromas of citrus and floral hop. Copper color with a two finger beige head. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Caramel malt fairly balanced with citrus and floral hop. Pretty smooth. Finish is neither sweet nor dry. Drinks very well. Overall the flavors are pleasant but not strong.

Pour is a copper with a brown head. Aroma is decent enough with a balance of hops and malts with the hops coming out semi-strong. Flavor is some brown sugar and caramel malts with the hops again showing up in the flavor. Can’t give this one to bad a score as it almost tastes how a pale ale should.
