Drinking this at The Nantahala Brewing Company in Beautiful downtown Sylva NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks golden yellow with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin ring.
Smells lightly biscuity, citrusy, lemony, grapefruit orange sweet.
Taste follows the nose nicely with a nice balance of maltiness and hoppiness.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a very nice example of a Pale Ale that I would definitely order again.
Cheers!

Poured from a bottle into a New Belgium snifter. Hazy and pale gold in color. One finger of rocky white head. Nose is a little dank with notes of lemon, cedar, and pine (Cascade hops?).

Medium body with a firm feel. Toast, lemon peel, and pine. Dry throughout. Nice lingering finish of lemon and pine. A lot of flavor for a pale ale. Not my favorite style, but this one is quite good.

Pours a cloudy pale straw colour with a bright white head.

The smell is citrus, oranges, lemon, some malt.

The taste is also citrus flavours, mildly bitter with a balanced amount of malt.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation.

A nicely balanced citrus flavoured pale ale.
