I started to panic when I tried this beer. There was something a little funky...perhaps I was hoping from more a sublte pale instead of a strong bitter. The color was copper/amber with no head. There was hints of citrus, but not much else on teh aroma. The taste was off to me...something a little to funky...not very smooth. Big malt finish. The mouthfeel was downgraded, and I would not order this beer again.

This is a Pale Ale not an ESB

The look is golden pale, unfiltered with a decent head formation.

The smell is citrus hops with a pale malt. There are slight floral hops which round out the nose.

The taste is a pale malt base the carbonation enters but is lite and a citrus hop enters. The mouth is smooth and it is easy to drink.

Just had this at Shoreline. Hazy golden color with good carbonation and a 1/2" fluffy white head. Smells faintly of citrus and hops, very floral. Taste is all the above with a good open grain and hop presence and a nice malt back. Good drinkability on this, has the typical Shoreline taste which makes it a good summer beer.
