12oz bottle poured into an Imperial pint.

A - Medium sized white head recedes to a small cap of foam. The color is golden with near perfect clarity.

S - Real nice balance between hops and malt. The malt has a nice husky/grainy character, light but distinct. Hops are a little bit of citrus with a touch of spiciness to it.

T - Quick glimpse of those biscuity base malts withhold any sweetness. The malt holds a little background for the hops mid-pallete. Hops have a nice earthy flavor to them. Little bit of hops finish up the flavor and last moderately into the aftertaste.

M - Medium-light body, moderate carbonation, dry.

O - Great session beer for a hop head. I appreciate the balance of malt and hops but still showcasing traditional hop qualities. Very drinkable and what I would think to be perfect for a spring cookout.

Poured into a shaker pint glass.

Look: Standard amber/copper color. Cream colored head recedes to a chunky film, good lines of lacing remain.

Aroma: Malty sweetness blends with spicy herbal hops.

Taste: Toasted grains and sweet malts up front. Hops kick in, faint citrus, lemon peel, subtle piny hops.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied.

Overall: Pretty standard, but not unlikable at all.

L- Clear golden orange with a nice fluffy head, the head sticks around for a while and leaves some nice stringy lace on the glass.

S- Mild aroma of pine malts and caramel malt.

T- Caramel malt with hints of citrus hops mixed throughout. Finish is crisp and refreshing a nice one for a hot summer day.

M- Light in body ad well carbonated.

O- Very refreshing summer session beer, the 5.3% ABV works well for it with that in mind,.

A- Orange/amber with lots of active carbonation. Off white head with excellent retention and poor lacing. Lacing improves as the head starts to diminish

S- Citrus, malt, hops. Not too complex.

T- Malt up front with lemon peel, fading into a dry and bitter grapefruit finish.

M- Medium/light body with a nice dose of carbonation. The carbonation comes across a little prickly.

O- It's nice, and not too complex. It's just a straight-forward, easy-drinking Pale Ale.
