It's hard to find decent bitters, so when something hints at such, I feel happy. This American ale, strays from the always & ever-too present IPA flood, and offers something more basic, but refreshing. The pour is an orangey haze-copper to medium brown with off-white decent head & retaining lace. The aroma is basic, nothing special, a blend of bready malt & peppery hop, but not too strong. The flavor takes the aroma & maintains it in a nice balance with sweet-hop-bitter in a medium-bodied but crisp way. A nice basic brew.

Pours a hazy orange with a small 1/2 finger head.

Mostly citrus and pine hops with a little bit of a malt backbone.

Starts out with a touch of a citrus flavor. Not much bitterness or flavor in the finish.

A touch watery with medium carbonation levels.

Bland. Nothing horrible about this, but completely unremarkable.

A - Golden color with a nice, medium sized, foamy, slightly thick and creamy, white head. Good retention leaving a decent layer of lace.

S - Decent amount of citrus hops with plenty of sweet honey and bready malt. Touches of floral hops in the back. Hints of lemon and herbal aroma.

T - A bit more malt than the nose along with caramel malt showing up fairly strong. Citrus (grapefruit and orange) and floral flavors are the strongest hop flavors. On the finish there is a bit of a lemon and herbal kick.

M - Medium body and average carbonation. Crisp and a dry finish.

D - Not bad, pretty well balanced and easy to drink. However, it doesn't inspire me for another and is fairly forgetable.

Notes: Average pale ale. Goes down easy and there is a decent hop profile. Overall it doesn't really inspire me though.

The brew is orange amber, hazy, has an off-white head leaving good lacing.

Smells mainly malty of fruits and berries.

A sweet toffee and brown bread start, then oranges, grass and orange seeds.

Medium carbonation, a soft texture, good body and dry finish.

A good malty beer, but balanced with hops.

Serving type: on-tap
