look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5

Had this before, time to review. Served in a pint.

A: A clear amber color, with a thin white head and some lacing

S: Wheat, grains, sugar, a very light, cool smell.

T: Grainy wheat, some hops but not much of a overly hop after taste

M: very light, crisp, refreshing, smooth, goes down easy, a beer more suited to the summer months, probably be some time before I have this again as we go into stout/porter season.

O: Basically and excellent light pale ale for those who aren't really into hardcore overbearing IPAs that dominate the top beers lists on this site. Grab one, or 6.

Serving type: bottle

can into tulip

appearance: orange/amber, unfiltered with some particles, thick and bubbly 1 finger white head, not much lacing

smell: piney, floral, bready notes, apple, citrus

taste: very floral and pine oriented, sweet and sharp herbal bitterness that coats your tongue with a sweet malt presence. Also getting some bready notes on the forefront, with some citrus and lemon and apple notes as well. Easy to session, satisfies your thirst very well.

mouthfeel: average carbonation, medium to full bodied for a pale ale

overall: A great benchmark Pale Ale, although not my favorite, I typically find myself comparing most pale ales I drink to this classic brew. Everything is greatly balanced, not too much of any one thing, very refreshing. I personally think it tastes better in a can, but that's just me.

Serving type: can
