Bottle - thanks dmschefke. Pours a hazy golden orange with a thin beige head. Nose is nice and hoppy, citrus, and sweet. Faint florals. Rich citrus hops and more florals in the flavor. The maltiness is noticeable, but the hops remain pretty intense. Smooth overall. Nice.

Bottle - thanks dmschefke. Brownish copper color with a thin beige head. Smells of citrus and florals with just a faint malty presence. The hops are intense, much more than the aroma would suggest, with strong floral notes. A rich and sweet citrus/caramel blend in the finish. Quite warming too. If this is Shorts pale ale I’d love to try the strong ale...

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a growler. This beer pours a dark brown color with a medium and foamy tan head that diminishes slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Chocolate and roasted malt in the nose along with some wheat. Medium, smooth body with flavors of chocolate, grainy malt and toasted wheat. The finish is chocolatey and smooth with a roasted malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
