This is a solid pale ale. It has a robust flavor profile but is not overbearing. Very nice to sip on in a casual setting. It pours a cloudy amber with a nice white head.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
This pale ale pours with a foggy viscosity. Ton of floaties. Slight fizzy head that is long lasting. Nose is of faint citrus and malt.Taste is of overly ripe lemons. Solid malt backbone. Slightly sour with a dry bitter finish.This bottle had six months on it so I am sure it would taste much better fresh.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a pale amber body with orange hues and a quickly dissipating off-white somewhat foamy head. Lacing was barely there. The aroma had a ton of citrus rolling into light tropical tones of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and then gently backed up by some light pine. The taste takes the harsh bitter side of the citrus to combine nicely through the sweet tones of the tropical notes. There’s a light aftertaste of citrus sweet to bitterness rolling into a semi-dry finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable bitter dry feel rolling over my tongue. Overall, APA or AIPA, I don’t know, but real good, wish I could get it on a daily basis

Pours a hazy amber color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of rye, piney hops, slight spicy hops, slight sorghum, earthiness, hint of grass, and slight alcohol. Fits the style of an American Pale Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of rye, piney hops, slight spicy hops, slight sorghum, earthiness, hint of grass, and slight alcohol. Overall, good appearance, complex, decent aroma, but heavy on the earthiness.

Gold in color with a faint amount of haziness. There's an inch of tightly knit, creamy to off white to beige head. The aroma is off fresh and pungent citrus hops. I'm initially tasting citrus hops and then an immediate barrage of light malt. The mouth is moderately sticky and otherwise light.
