The distinct flavors of Centennial and Cascade hops help this classic pale ale to strike the perfect balance between hoppy and refreshing for the summertime. In addition to a signature citrus and piney character, these hops also deliver notes of white peach and melon. These light, fruity accents, coupled with a mild malt sweetness and clean finish, give this beer balance and a unique flavor that'll quench your thirst and satisfy your taste buds.

Bottle received in a trade with faroeviking, shared with ozujsko. Oooh, my second american beer. Cute. Poured a medium sized white head that went away at a medium pace. Golden colour. The nose is a bit dusty and malty... a hint of lemon. Taste... unimpressive maltiness, dull lemony hopiness. Kinda pleasant, not exactly flawed, but nowhere near score it has here.

I’ve had 20 of their other beers but had never seen this until today. Not very impressed to be honest. It was drinkable, but there was nothing really there that jumped out at me. An average pale ale, which I suppose would be just fine for the masses. Perhaps it was the hops they used, or the amount. I certainly wouldn’t refuse another one, but I won’t go out of my way to necessarily seek it out.

Very English in character. Light all around, so light I can barely pick up the hops in the aroma. Flavor is light hops and a mild but good malt base. Lightly bitter hop finish. A high quality lawn mower or session beer. Gold in color and moderate carbonation.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright copper color with a small white head that faded quickly. The aroma was dry floral hops with a hint of piney hops. The flavor is sour malts with flavor and lightly fruity hops. There is a tangy bitter finish. Fairly blah pale ale.
