This pale ale poured a golden amber with next to no head even after a vigorous pour. Scents include honey, hay and a little grass. First swig was quite smooth. Initially hoppy with a med bite bitterness. Finish is a little grassy with some caramel. Hoppy bitterness lingers on the palate. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Seven’s, Beacon Hil, Boston. A clear, amber colored beer topped by a small, off-white head. The aroma is malty, bready and citrusy with some pine cones. It’s lightly bitter on the palate, with some pale malts as a backdrop. Pine cones and citrus peel. Medium to full body, dry and a tad heavy on the carbonation. Light bitter, citrusy finish. Rather boring, but sort of quenching and at least it drinks easy. 150609

Another beauty of a beer, slick and creamy, sticky lacing all the way around and down. Light malty aroma, taste more malt capped with a touch of bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Bottle. Opens with a nice balanced malty aroma with just enough aromatic hops. Pours with a thin head and large bubbles, off-white color. Beer is a rich brown, nice and clear. Begins to fall apart upon the first sip, taste is not as balanced as the aroma, aromatic hops disappear, and roasted maltiness fades into the background. All that’s left is a bitterness on the back end. The mouthfeel is thin and disappointing. Not horrible, but not recommended.

12 ounce. can. Slightly hazy amber color. Decent sized rocky white head. Fragrant faint caramel malt aroma. Mild toasted malt flavor has hints of bread and black tea. Nicely balance subtle citrus hops. Slight nutty malt in finish. Pleasant but average.
