8/7/19....light golden copper and a ring of white foam. Slightly fruity nose. Strong fruity taste - fruit punch. Cherries amidst. Light fruity bitter stuffed in the back. Refreshingly tasty.

I'm trying this at the brewery. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent had faint citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with lemon citrus finish that came off the pallet clean. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

Poured at the taproom, this draft presented clear and golden with a moderate head and lacing. Though the flavor did not overpower, it was well balanced and only slightly astringent. This provided a crisp hoppy mouthfeel and was very refreshing. Not my typical style but a very drinkable beer

First beer I've had brewed by Old Black Bear rather than contract-brewed. Had poured from 12-oz. can, gift from a friend, into nonic pint. True to style, and appealing to this old pale ale fan.

Poured from the tap at the brewery. The appearance is a clear golden color with a small white head. The aroma is slight hops. The flavor is a great crisp pale ale flavor. An excellent beer
