On tap at the bar in a frozen pint glass and served ice cold.

Hazed orange color, very thin lacing. Mild citric hop aroma. Slick mouth feel and medium body suffer from the lack of carbonation. Wet grain flavor to start with some hop bitterness and citric flavor. Yeasty tones mare the semi-dry finish.

Need carbonation, a yeast that will drop out ... filtration would have been best and not serving it ice cold would have helped as well.

This pale presents a light amber/golden body and a half thick half filmy head. It tries to chunk up, but it just doesn't have the umpf.
First whiff brings a hint of pine, and not much else. Swirled a bit and sticking my nose in a bit closer I get some light herbal spice, pine and citrus. Some rope as well. A bit odd, but a PA nonetheless.
Immediate in the taste are the hops. A good bite at first. Really crisp. Flavor of hops is hard to pin down. Mostly pine and citrus, but not very strong. Still, makes for a solid PA.
easy drinking. A bit light perhaps, but good.
