A deep amber color is poured into the glass, with a light beige colored head forming on top. The head is about a quarter inch thick that dissolves away gradually. A grassy fragrance hits the nose at first that is followed by light citrus scent. It finishes with bread fragrance and followed by a touch of cracked grain. The taste comes forward with the malt, bringing bread and biscuit flavors that seemingly dominate each taste. The hops do make a feint appearance at the backend, with grass and citrus flavors. The texture starts a bit watery then grows to become more medium bodied. It then starts to fade to as reaches the back of the palate. The growing carbonation crashes on the back of the palate like a wave. This is an easy to drink ale, if I were drinking a mild ale. This says pale ale. Though it has a strong color and look, with a descent aroma, but the taste is lackluster and the feel is below average, makes this beer a little disappointing.

Poured into a shaker pint glass.

The beer is a hazy copper color with a slowly receding light cream colored head. Light lines of lacing mark the glass.

The aroma is well balanced with sweet caramel malt first, and floral hops after.

Taste is faintly sweet then a tangy, citrusy blast of hops and citrus rind comes through. Some piny wood on the finish.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied.

Overall, a pretty good pale ale. Good balance and flavor.
