3.6/5  rDev -3.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3

A: Pours a nice amber color, 1 finger head. Good retention, OK lacing.

S: Nice strong hops with some yeast backing - good sweet malt.

T: Malt comes off nice and sweet, but toasty. Hops are a nice bitter backing, but are not out in front - are a little light. Not a very complex flavor - fruit is nowhere to be found. A good middle-of-the-road ale for people who like hops.

M: Rather strongly carbonated, dry, barely astringent.

D: Goes down alright, but not something I would drink all the time. Other Great Divides are better.

Serving type: bottle

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

A: Pours a dark golden color with half finger head that settles quickly

S: bready Malts and a nutty aroma. I'm also getting a little cinnamon spice at the end

T: dominate malt flavor. Vet slight nutty presence with minimal hops to follow.

M: good carbonation, a little thicker then I expected. There's a nice sticky feel from the hops at the end.

O: this was a nice change for a pale ale. It has a good malty flavor and the oil from the hops give a nice mouthfeel but could have hit more flavor points
