An American pale ale that showcases a blend of Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe hops in the kettle and during dry-hopping, City Wide bursts with aromas of citrus, melon and tropical fruit tapering to a crisp, juicy finish.

I am greatly dissapointed. There was no head. The citrus flavor was nearly invisible. I've had 4Hands before and expected a delight. I hope the other cans are better.

12oz can fizzed way out of the top very quickly and spilled all over the counter before I could even pour it. Didn't drop the can or agitate it or anything, it's just been sitting in the fridge for days, very strange. Pours a very hazy golden yellow inclining to orange with a large, dense head of off-white foam that fades down to a thin layer while leaving a small amount of lacing. Smells pungently of american hops, especially citrusy ones. Decent malt backbone with a weird, funky caramel sort of flavor that leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. Lots of piney, citrusy hop flavors and a moderate to strong bitterness at the close. Medium body with a fizzy mouthfeel.
Really didn't like this beer. Not a super hoppy guy and didn't know it was one of those "little IPA" pale ales. Not sure why the carbonation was so insane when I opened the can, either. Won't buy again.

The colour of this beer is on the darker side of gold accompanied by a 1.5-inch head. The dominate features are the citrus/tropical aromas and malt/citrus taste. Bitterness and carbonation are both elevated. It's hot a hop kick but not too much. Pretty balanced. I was visiting St. Louis and took in a Cards game and I'm glad someone recommended it.

In review of the widely acclaimed "City Wide" pale ale, I simply find myself at a loss for words. The citrus aroma at first smell may be off-putting for pilsner advocated, but I believe the St. Louis native brew can hold its own against any IPA.

Crisp and refreshing! Look is golden with a light haze. Very crushable and a great beer year round. At 5.5% it’s a sessionable brew that can be drank at volume. Gonna pop a couple more in the cooler

It’s alright. No a whole lot going on. Nice color. Slight citrus flavor. Like a higher quality standard American beer.

Nice frothy head ... Has all the characteristics of a decent American pale ale ... This one's got some flavor, which is of course good as many in this style are a bit thin
