12oz can poured into a pint glass.

A - Clear, amber/orange in color. White head w/ decent lacing.

S - Sweet smell with a touch of citrus.

T - Sweet malt backbone w/ nice touch citrus from the hops. Both are in balance. Leaves a half dry, half sweet aftertaste.

M - Really nice, has a nice creamy mouthfeel but still light. Best part of the beer.

D - High, real easy to session this beer, especially with the great mouthfeel.

It is easy to get (for me), reasonalby priced, and a tasty beer. This is going to be one of my go to beers for a quick one after work.

Had straight out of the bottle.

Appearance: Pale golden amber slight haze

Smell: Slightly spicy with some fruit and slight wheat.


Taste: Hops are there but not overbearing. Slight citrus and even a touch of maltiness. Carbonated but not too bubbly. Very smooth refreshing with nice mouthfeel.

Overall: Good refreshing pale ale for a sunny day.

A - Attractive, tanned orange colour. Just a little cloudy. One finger white head which sticks around and laces nicely.

S - Bright floral, citrusy hops

T - Mild, very drinkable. Quite crisp, predominantly malty taste - sweet and a little toasty, with a nice small but sharp hit of citrus hops. Aftertaste is dry, a little cardboardy and lager like, with a little pleasant bitterness.

M - Refreshing and light bodied, feels a little lacking in carbonation.

O - A solid, drinkable and refreshing maltier pale ale.
