A - Pours a deep amber color with light carbonation and lacing. Darker than most pale ales I've had.
S - Light roasted caramel malt and delicate pine hopping. I'm sorry to say I'm not getting more in the nose.
T - Very tastey and rich body for a less than 5% beer, much better than I anticipated. Roasted caramel malt with a small touch of citrus on the tip of the tongue and perfectly balanced pine hops throughout. Balance is about as good as it gets as no one ingredient overpowers the other. Malt is on the biscuity side. The aftertaste is a crisp coating citric pine and warm roasted malt.
After reading other reviews, people are describing this as really hopped up. Keep in mind that this review is being written from the perspective of a hop addict so my tolerance is higher than the average beer drinker.
M - Medium body, crisp, and finishes a little on the dry side. Moderate amount of pricklies as the beer rolls over the tongue.
D - Very, very high. This is what I would label as "one of those session beers. This is a beer I normally wouldn't try but am glad I did.

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a Shaker pint glass, "enjoy by" date "MAR 30 2018".
APPEARANCE: pours a hazy, copper color with one-finger tan head that slowly dissipated until a thin, unbroken layer of small bubbles remained, there is significant lacing on the glass, medium carbonation.
SMELL: caramel and toasted bread, faint to the nose.
TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet caramel then toasted bread and finishes with a slightly metallic hop profile.
PALATE: medium body and carbonation.
OVERALL: this is a malt forward beer and I'm not a fan of toasted malt so this beer is not for me, it's not a bad beer or poorly made just not my thing.

L: Light Amber orange color, looks almost like iced tea. A medium head and some nice lacing on the glass.
S: Lots of toasted bread, some pine and floral hops. Not an overly strong aroma. For a hoppy session, I expect more hop.
T: Toasted brown bread, with notes of pine and some spicy floral hops, and a light bitterness. A little oniony flavor. Some black tea flavor. The taste is stronger than the aroma.
F: Light body mouthfeel is slick.
O: For a hoppy session beer this is a little malty but still drinkable.
