Poured from a 16oz can. It is great to have another new brewery in TX! And released in a can no less.

As I popped the can open, a quick smell of hops is shot into the air. Poured with a big, thick, frothing head. Amber in color. Not bad, strong head retention. Too strong? Wet hop aroma....almost a vegetable smell if that makes sense. And then out of nowhere the strong malt flavor. The aroma and flavor are totally different. It tastes fine, just not what I was expecting or looking for. The mouthfeel is great, nice and lush, smooth. High drinkability, I will be going back to this one definitely TX beer in a can for sure...

Look: Nice and dark for a pale ale. Good firm foamy head; lasts awhile.
Smell: Refreshing, piney; like being in the East Texas woodlands
Taste: Just simply delicious. I love this ale.
Feel: Just right; not watery but not viscous either.
Overall: I love this ale. This and Southern Star's Buried Hatchet Stout are always in my fridge!
