A:Pours piss yellow. There's no helping that. Has a bit of a head, but it quickly dissipates. It's a pretty looking beer, I suppose, though a bit darker than its lager cousins.

S:Not a strong odor to it. Has a bit of a sharp fruity presence not there in the lager. More on that later.

T:Good taste. Hops presence is immediately distinguishable along with some fruit undertones. A bit of sweetness on the tongue as well as a fair amount of bite.

M:Not as oily as the lager. Not as pleasing as Bass. Sparkles on the tongue. Decent and average.

Decent beer. Saw some of the reviews blasting it. Figured I would give it a try. It's not nearly as bad as some of the other beers I've tried in my life. And this is based on my experience with it in can form. Does it fare well against Dogfish? Of course not, you idiot. Is it a perfectly decent beer for a warm summer's evening? Yes. Is it cheap? Yes. I like it fine, especially for the price.

Serving type: can

look: 3 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.75

A - see through, pale, gold with a thin, fizzy, white head that fades in an instant

S - musty, faint grass, faint citrus

T - almost no flavor on the front end, but then there is a very bitter finish; there are some hints of citrus throughout if you look hard enough

M - medium bodied, very crisp, over carbonated

Well, this certainly isn't the best pale ale out there. It could definitely use a boost of flavor. It's also over carbonated which make it lighter than it should be. Overall, I'm not disappointed that I tried this, but I won't be buying it again.
