Largely an average APA in looks and smell.
But the taste introduces a problem of hops that try to do too much.
Soon, the after-taste and mouth feel sinks this Pale Ale below average... very cloying, and gave me an upset tongue.
I suppose it is fine for a restaurant to enter the brewery business. But based on this sampling, I'm not sure I would eat the food, either.

Pours amber gold with a slight haze under a 2" off-white foam collar. Smooth and creamy, medium body, medium carbonation, some fruit, sweet with a good dose of American hops

The first sip of this rather easy to drink Ale actually made me smile and after all is that not the best thing we can hope for with a beer? I've really never tasted anything like this before; the perfect mix of an bitter hops, sweet malts and a drinkable fluidness. A nice bite of hops tamed by watery and slightly carbonated sweetness. People are always talking about carmel in beer but I've never really experienced it like this beer.

A: Pours a clear amber with a thick, fluffy off-white head that takes some time to settle.
S: Aromas of caramel, biscuit, crackers, black pepper, lemon jelly, bitter orange, herbs, leather, and black tea are most noticeable.
T: Hoppy notes of black tea, lemon jelly, bitter orange, herbs, leather, black pepper, and mild tobacco are balanced by firm notes of caramel, toffee, crackers, and biscuits. The finish is dry and mild with notes of lemon, tea, caramel, and biscuit most pronounced.
M: Medium in body and initially somewhat sappy, although the beer turns dryish around mid-palate. Carbonation is firm, yet delicate. Really easy to drink.
O: I think classifying this beer as an APA is a bit misleading. The flavor profile reminds me more of English IPAs and pale ales. In the end, this is not a bad beer, but I think it is a bit misunderstood.
