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.

Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Aroma of peach and citric hops, but after that crystal malt flavour takes over and dominates completely. Medium bodied with medium bitterness. Too one dimensional.

Pour is cloudy with a big white head. Aroma in mine is kind of soapy and sticky. Flavor is malty and slightly hoppy. More hops would deffinatly help this one. Not really bad but its not sierra nevada.

A hazy orange beer with a small biege head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit especially peach. The flavor is sweet with a very bitter hoppy dry end. But the body is thin.

Golden, clear body and a thin white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy (floral), but the flavor is muddled and bitter, finishing like a dry cracker. Not a very good pale.

MMM. I like this one alot. A nice meaty flavor that I expect in a Pale ale though it has plenty of room for improvement. Good even taste throughout, with a bit of fruitiness i was not expecting. Wonderful pale gold color. not sure that this really comes off as an english pale ale though, too much carbonation, not enough body.

A little light on flavor considering the great aroma and autumn color. Not Sammy's best offering by any means but I actually like this more than their flagship beer. It is not as good as their Summer or Winter brews though.

Re-rating: Very mediocre pale ale and about the worst beer from SA. No depth at all - very little malt flavor, with a medium, almost metallic bitterness and little detectable hop flavor or aroma. Golden color with small head didn't do the trick either.
