A- Very pale amber yellow color. Clingy head and good lacing.

S- Sweet smelling, grapefruity, hoppy with some maltyness.

T- This is a solid APA. Malty with a nice clean crisp hop flavor. There is a nice fruitiness that goes well here too.

M- Great mouthfeel, smooth medium body with a complimentary amount of carbination.

O- This is a solid brew. I like how it tastes and has been going well on this nice sunny day.

I've been happy with all the beers I've had from Iron Horse. They have been pretty solid and tasty.

Appearance poured a golden amber color wth a head that stuck around a bit leaving clinging lace. Smell of citrus grapefruit hops dominant over the malt. Taste is hop dominant with the grapefruit bitterness, but not in an IPA way, just enough to cover the sweet malt making it go down easy. Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. Yet another good one from Iron Horse that I enjoy.

A: Poured a clody orangish cold color with anice white cap and bubbles

S: Caramel, malty, some citrus and grass

T: Bread, caramel, citrus and some grass. Not bad on taste, not as hoppy and cirsp or refreshing as the 509 or others. Tasted a mix of American and Pale

M: Mouthfeel is medium bodied and pretty heavy for a pale

D: A drinkable pale ale but not one I would seek out

Bought at our local craft beer store for this beer. Went to school in Ellensburg, and have missed their beer since moving to the west side of the mountains.

Appearance: Poured a great golden color with a great creamy white head that maintained.

Smell: Smells great citrus smell of grapefruit

Taste: Immediate citrus taste that is well balanced by the sweet malt. Finishes with orange/lemon.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied that dissipated pretty quick.

Drinkability: I could drink this beer all day! I love this pale ale, and hope the beer store gets more in stock!

I stopped at the brewery on a trip through Ellensburgh and bought a couple bottles of Hop Hub. "Beer Shoppe Anniversary Ale."

Pours a hazy gold color with a modest but creamy white head.

The aroma is faint, malted grain mostly, with just a hint of a fruity essence.

Taste is a sweet biscuit and citrus flavor. Fairly well balanced, perhaps with a grapefruit and lemon flavor dominating the palate at the end.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slight cloying character.

A very drinkable and full flavored pale ale. Better than the 509 Style ale for sure.
