Sampled on cask at the brewery. A pleasant light amber body with a nice semi-sticky creamy head from the hand pump. On cask, the malt seems to dominate, although a fresh floral hop presence is there as well. The flavor is a very mild and sweet malt based, slightly bready but a dry faint grainy flavor is also present. Hop bite is an afterthought. A very good pale ale, that reminded me of a british real ale, but one brewed with all-American ingredients.

Serving type: cask

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium coppery orange amber with a one finger off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of biscuit and slightly toasted malt, light herbal hops. Flavor is slightly sweet bready malt, earthy hops, finishes slightly dry with pleasant residual hop bitterness. Medium bodied with a moderate creaminess, a pleasant surprise from a pale ale. Flavors are subtle, but well balanced. A quite pleasant light pale ale.
