Pours slightly darker than a pale ale. Almost has a reddish tint to it. Smells sweet. Great balanced flavor from citrus and hops. Not as bitter as a Dale's Pale Ale on the back end. Good beer. Glad to have tried it.

a - poured a two-fingers thick creamy tan head into a snifter that left great lacing throughout. the body was a bright amber color.
s - floral and piney.
t - floral and piney with some caramel to balance it out.
m - so creamy and coating. terrific.
o - great pale ale (that's what it says on the can) so i'm not sure why it's classified as a strong ale here.

64oz growler poured into my 3Floyds pint glass.
A- A light reddish amber colored ale. Very clear and opaque. Pours with a nice white head that fades off pretty quickly.
S- Smells extremely sweet and malty. Hints of caramel, molassass, and some fruity flavors. Almost smells like fruity pebbles, or watermelon.
T- Much like the smell. Strong sweet malt profile, with some interesting fruity notes. I can't quite place it, but it is almost like melon. There are some nice touches of hops in the aftertaste, but needed more bittering IMO.
M- A little on the flat and syrupy side, but certainly not undrinkable. It had a nice body, but just not enough carbonation to hold it together. The sweetness is just too much.
O- Overall this was a little overboard with the malt, and got hard to drink after the first glass. While it certainly wasn't bad, it needed something to balance out the sweet malty backbone.

Poured on-tap and served in a true pint, the beer is a hazy, almost opaque, brown-gold blending that is light around the edges. Tall, frothy, small bubbled foam atop the brew in a creamy, light tan coloring. Aromas are sweet and resiny hops first, with a good citrus component blending with a light caramel sweetness. The beer's flavors are strong and smooth, giving your tastebuds a punch of peppery, resiny, bitter hops leading the way for the smooth, slightly boozey malt background. Starts out hop heavy, but finished surprisingly balanced. Great lace left along the glass as you drink, and the body is smooth and light throughout. The aftertaste is a slight toffee sweetness, which is subtle and slightly overpowered by the steady bitterness and cedar/peet from the hops. Slightly drying finish. This is a good beer, and complex in that it transitions from unbalanced to balanced and back to hop heavy again. Very tasty!
