Pours a clear gold-ish. Nose is like rotting funk. Flavor is seriously lacking. The first swig I got, I almost lost it and just spit it out. Basically I can't finish this because the aftertaste is so nasty. The feel is nice with a good level of carbonation, but who cares. If it doesn't taste good, what does it matter??

A - Gold, clear, white head has some retention and lacing.

S/T/M - Light herbal hops on the nose, taste has cereal grain sweetness with some herbal, lemon hops. Strange sweetness as it warms, though, with some bubblegum (?) Light/medium body, medium carbonation level stays smooth across the palate, finishing mostly clean.

O - Average, a little bland, some off-flavor sweetness. I had one, that's good enough for me.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours clear golden color with active bubbles. White foam steps up and disappears. Malty straw nose. Light but full hoppyish taste. Straw too. Little bitter holds. Crisp finish. Refreshingly simple. Great beer for flavor without being too adventurous. Sessionable.

Pours a slightly hazy, dull golden-hued color with a scant, white head that recedes to leave not much of anything.

Aromas begin with some crackery, lightly toasted white breadiness with some light emerging citrus, grassy and spicy hops. I cannot tell any of the varieties as they hop presence is quite faint.

The tastes begin with the same pale bready maltiness with some slight caramel sweetness. Moderate fruity hops, mostly green fruits like pear and apple with some spicy and floral hops adding a medium-to-low amount of bitterness.

The mouthfeel is medium-light bodied with medium carbonation. Finish is has a gentle bitterness with a clean pale malt flavor.

Overall you could do a lot worse for a sessionable pale ale but also a lot better as well. Nothing strikingly off here but not a complex enough flavor profile to make me want to purchase this in a 6-pack form outside of the bar where I found this among the macro-swill.

Fairly good Pale Ale. For the price, a good Pale Ale. I bought a mixed six-pack of 12 oz beers under $2.00 a bottle at Total Wine. This was the first one up.

Pours a clear gold color with a little reddish or orange tinge in the gold. Medium size somewhat frothy white head with average retention. Several rings of lacing on the glass.

Smell is disappointing. Mild and somewhat reminiscent of a adjunct lager...a vegetably rice and corn aroma.

Taste is much better. A mild easy drinker with a bit of hops bitterness in an overall mild malty beer. No funky or metallic aftertaste, just a clean crisp flavor

A bit thin on mouthfeel, but crisp and refreshing.

A good beer to accompany food or for a session.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.75

Poured in a pint glass. Nice thick white foam, sticky lace on the glass. Very light on the smell. Nice mouth feel, soft carbonation. I really like the taste. Good balence citrus and malty hops. Slightly darker straw color. Good price for a very good beer. I would buy this one again. Worth trying if you never had one.
