3.73/5  rDev -3.4%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

A: Very hazy copper color, with not much head.

S: Light hoppy aroma with some sweetness to it.

T: Taste is well-balanced, with a very slight sweetness. The hops are quite noticeable but not overpowering, and the bitterness balances well by the sweetness. Nothing here blew me out of the water, but this was a solid beer overall.

M: Fairly unremarkable mouthfeel. Light-to-medium with some carbonation.

O: Overall, a good, not great beer. This is a nice choice if you like hops, but not the sometimes overwhelming hoppy bitterness that some pale ales have, or for someone trying a pale ale for the first time.

Serving type: bottle

4.13/5  rDev +7%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Appearance: definitely unfiltered. Pours very hazy amber large the fast fade to a coin width white head, and lots of lacing maps.

Smell: Clean, almost soapy, malt sweetness with a grassy hay nose.

Taste: All the flavors of the nose, still just a bit soapy. Chewy, dry, bread flavor, matched by a lovely tingly hop bitterness. Salty, and a bit soapy, yet it all works.

Feel: Medium, well carbonated, tingly. refreshing, sessionable, want more.

Notes: Highly original pale ale, complex and unique and very multi-faceted. One of the best? I prefer Dales Pale Ale still for it's piney, tingly, Rocky Mountain (now Brevard NC) style, but Shoals is up there.

Everything from Smuttynose is a must try and could become a fave for you. Opens up more and more as it warms.
