Served from tap into a Pisgah shaker while shopping around at Appalachian Vintner in Asheville today. Poured yellow-orange with a one finger pure white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt and subtle citrus hops. The flavor was of sweet malt and light hop. It had a light feel on the palate with low carbonation. Overall this was a pretty nice brew for it's style. Had a pretty nice mouthfeel to it, which makes me want to drink it all day long. It had a pretty good flavor and a really nice aroma for a Pale Ale. A must try whether you like the style or not!

22 oz bottle poured into a nonic. Thanks mikesgroove!
Pours a cloudy, golden orange color with a whitish finger thick head that fades to a film and a few random small bubbles with minimal lacing. Aroma is fairly one dimensional, yet strong and appropriate for the style focusing on biscuit and caramel malt with slightly sweet, citrusy hops. Flavor follows the aroma, but just a touch sweeter, not overly bitter, but definitely tasting lots of citrus hops balanced by the strong grain and malt body. Mouthfeel is slightly resiny with light carbonation producing a medium body. Overall a very pleasant, sweeter than expected APA.
