August 23rd, 2015 - A tiny glass of Pin Up puts out a defining aroma of rust, bread and even the light tang of a fresh sour dough roll. And the flavor is dry and light. I catch some cashew nuttiness in the aftertaste and fresh peas on the foretaste. Clean and crisp, it's just a little too "boiled vegetable" for me, but it serves almost as a side dish with its distinct flavor profile.

Good all around pale ale, but a bit too buttery for me. Cheers!

Small and unassuming ale with a big bite. Clear and dark golden, light hop aroma. Taste brings on the hops, finish is decidely astringent, piney. Can't wait for these guys to start production in Idaho.

Price: $18.99 for a variety 4-pack of bombers
Purchased: Nov. 6, 2015
Consumed: Nov. 6, 2015
Misc.: N/A
Poured a honey, caramel, clear color with 2-to-3 fingers of grayish tan, fizzy head, which comes to rest quickly, A few bubble streams coming up from the bottom of the glass. Minimal wet spots of lacing on the sides of the glass. Poor retention. (Sight - 3.50)
Smelled a pleasant whiff of Citra, sharp grapefruit, lemon zest, some tropical rind, some spicy Chinook, caramel and sugary floral. (Smell - 3.75)
Tasted wasn’t as pleasant as the nose, getting more of a veggie feel. Also Citra, lemon, lime, faint grapefruit, tangerine, Citra rind, caramel and bitter Chinook. (Taste - 3.50)
Light body. Thin texture. Average carbonation Long, bitter finish. (Feel - 3.75)
This was an OK pale ale, about what I was expecting. Decent for the style and good for the summer. (Overall - 3.75)
