Love this pale ale. Interesting hops. They definitey add a floral fruity taste. Could definitely be a stock beer in the fridge. Some of the best breweries out of Bend, OR and Sisters, OR.

Light coppery color with a tan, foamy head. Slightly hazy. The aroma is orange, light tropical fruit, and bread malt. Hints of grain and herbs as well. The flavor is complex in a good way. Citrus and earthy tones coming together with some sweetness, like honey and melon, orange, and grass. Medium body, with an excellent, well balanced aftertaste of lightly toasted malt and citrus hops. Very good.

Great up front sweet/bitter ish orange peel aroma hops. Nice creamy carbonation, some bitterness on the finish but nothing offensive or off balance. A nice maltiness with hop bitterness. If someone is trying make the move from pale ale to IPA this is a great "gateway" brew. Hops character is similar to Citra but with a bit more earthy-ness. A very drinkable, complex pale ale. Would definitely buy this again. What is going on in Bend, OR???? That city never fails to pump out great craft beer!

This hop is on the earthy side with some pine and a little citrus. Makes for a nice beer with the crisp malt backbone that is present here. Works well as a standalone hop.

Bottle from Boise Co-op. Nice looking pour, frothy head that fades to small skin, light haze. Mild hoppy aroma, taste also favors the hops, but not overly hoppy. Crisp like a fresh pils. Slick, medium weight body adds a nice feel to the whole brew.
