Orange & gold, cloudy color...average lacing left behind and not much head after the first 30 seconds after the pour.

Big time caramel (off-flavors) and buttery malts. No hop character present. Mouthfeel is very rough for an APA..it was only my 2nd beer of the night, and I was having a tough time putting my entire 22oz down.. I can put back a bomber of Yeti Imperial Stout in less time than I can drink one of these... too harsh.

I really wanted to like this beer..but it just wasn't going to happen. I thought pale ales were supposed to be easy to drink? Get some new beer recipes, or next time I'm at Beck's, I'm going with a SA Boston Lager.

Decent APA pour--light gold, a little cloudy. No head at all. They don't believe in heads at this establishment.

Light hop scent is overcome by...take a guess... DIACTYL! Jesus what is with this place?

The diactyl kind of/sort of works in the flavor. Butter is followed by soapy hops and the beer finishes on a totally decent note of caramel. Complex, but most of that complexity is horrible.

This beer narrowly avoids being awful. Between this and the Mexican lager I was reminded why I never visit this place despite it being a couple miles away from where I live. I wish I could give big marks to my home Brewpub...but I just can't. This beer sucks.
