Clear golden and amber with a fairly large bone-white, fairly large-bubbled head, with nice retention, and great stick down the glass. Very pretty pale ale.

Biscuit and bready aroma, with some floral and grassy hop character. From the aroma, I have a feeling this may be a wet-hopped pale, but that'd only be guessing.

The flavor is biscuity and bready, much like the aroma, with floral, grassy, earthy, and very mild pine hop character. Well balanced and moderately bitter.

Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation. Very drinkable.

A tasty, somewhat simple pale ale.

Serving type: on-tap

Not much info available on this beer other than that it is a winning homebrew recipe and brewed for the Pro-Am competition at GABF. It seems to tread the line between American and English, but I'll just call it an APA.

Clear golden color covered with a frothy, lasting white head - beautiful rings left all the way down the glass. Aromas of crackers, biscuity malt, and floral hops. Leafy, bitter hop flavor...herbal and citrus notes over a fine pale malt sweetness. Slick, medium body with a slight creamy quality. A refreshing, enjoyable pale ale.

Serving type: on-tap
