Picked up a 4-pack from Binny's in Des Plaines, IL.

A: Pours a yellowish-golden color with a finger of white head that settles down to a film while lacing the glass a little.

S: Smells like citrus, grapefruit, nice fresh earthy hops. Not super complex here, but a very pleasant scent just not very intense.

T: Tastes like very smooth EARTHY hops, grapefruit and citrus, but not super dank (hey it's just a Pale Ale!) a slight pale malt comes in towards the middle before being overtaken by some smooth heavy bitterness in the finish.

M: A little thinner than my preference for hoppy beers, but definitely a full bodied sessionable pale ale mouthfeel. Super smooth going down!

D: Highly drinkable! It's got a lot of good, fresh, earthy, hoppy flavor, but not so dank that it hurts the sessionability. Definitely something I wish was available year round as this is one of the better regular pale ales that I've had.
