Poured into a shaker pint. Pours a clear amber with a minimal off-white head and good lacing. Very hoppy aroma. Citrus and pine flavors with a slight bitter hop after taste. Taste a little like fresh mowed grass. Easy drinking. Not a bad session beer.

Medium carbonation with about the same body
Aroma is grain,malt, bitter hops, grassy
Taste is similar to aroma, very hoppy and bitter. This resembled an ipa far more than a pale ale. Actually tried two of their ipas and they weren't even remotely close to how bitter this pale ale was
Still I found it to be flavorful, well made and can see ipa fans really enjoying this

poured from tap at harvest moon into a pint glass. Pours a solid orange color with a nice, but short, head.
Forward with noticeable hops along with aromas of florals, citrus and oranges. Good complexity, but lacking some depth
medium/full bodied with a very smooth feel. Nice flavors of citrus, oranges and hops
This comes off as more of an IPA than a Pale Ale. A very good beer on the whole though

First had: on tap at their brewery
Good beer. Poured a clear copper with a small white head. Pleasantly hoppy aroma, and not much else in the nose. Lightly hopped taste, with hints of citrus and grass. Light bodied, crisp and refreshing...a typical pale ale pretty much. A little bitter aftertaste, but overall nice and drinkable.

Pours amberish. Half an inch of off-white foam.
Smells like grainy malts with a touch of caramel, and some old musty hops.
Taste is more hoppy than expected from the aroma, with some light pine balancing out the grain caramel.
Well. Not too shabby. Above some, but below most. Nicely carbonated.

I had a few of these in the mountains and saved one for a review.
poured from bottle to glass.
Appearance- was a cherry amber color, not much of a head, and the lacing was sparse with a few strands coating the top edge.
Smell- Wasn't much, a few hoppy notes, and a mild syrupy sugar.
Taste- was alright, hoppy and citrus cut with the belgian sugar syrup to give it a mild finish.
Drinkability- Overall a nice pale ale, with a little depth, and simple refreshing notes. Worth a try, and worth drinking again.
