A normal pour got me just under a finger of parchment colored head. Body is a nice deep amber, and head leaves a nice frothy ring. Lacing tries but can't quite hold on.

The nose is a bouquet of weak pine, sweet grass and mild citrus.

The taste is where I feel this one falls apart. It comes off to me as a generic grassy/piney hop taste, with a light bitter end.

Beer is light-medium bodied. It washes down quick and easy and is refreshing. No coating or stickiness, dry ending, little bit bitter.

First time having the new recipe. On tap at Big Hunt.

Pours a hazy copper color. Ok carbonation with a thin layer of off white head.

Smell of caramel malts and sweet hops. Citrus and floral notes come through.

Flavors come through more than the smell lets on. Not as bitter as I expected for a pale ale, but refreshing. I get zero roastiness that others describe from the bottle.

Creamy up front, but the bitterness never develops on the finish.

Overall, this is a good beer, not great. Didn't notice a big change in recipe, but I don't think the changes hurt it.

Serving type: on-tap
