A nice offering from the King Brewing Co. Pours out to a orange color with a small off white head of foam. Carbonation rears it's head well after the beer has been poured. Some notes of lace. Aromas of mildly sweet hops and floral notes. Nice. Taste is very drinkable for the style; flavors of hops, floral notes, malt and grain are balanced very well on the palate. Not overly hoppy. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a backbone. I like that. This would be a decent session brew. Give it a shot. It's got the balance of APA flavors down cold.

Poured from a 12oz bottle with no dates. Medium amber with a 1' white head that turns to a bubbly film within a few minutes.
Smells of pine resin and hops. Not a flowery citrus bouquet, but the hops are there.
There's some malt upfront when tasted, but the hops take over with a nice dry finish. The mouthfeel is perfect for the style, not too much carbonation.
Too many of the PAs I've tried are better classified as IPAs. They are too bold, while this one seems to hit the right notes without going overboard.

Nice looking amber with a thin white head. Piney, slightly citrucy hops aroma. Not very strong aroma, but its decent.Flavor shows a bit of malt base and a fair dose of bittering hop without much hop flavor. Mothfeel is medium to light. Not a bad beer.

This Pale Ale pours out to a bright amber with a generous head. Aroma is that of bread dough and pine needles. Tast is that of pine, biscuits, and caramel. This is a very drinkable Pale Ale. The balance is wonderful. It isn't dominated by hops as many pales are. The malt stands out and makes mouthfeel and swallow as smooth as velvet. This could be a session Pale if there ever was one.
