Using a bounty of classic American hops, Pacer is, in a way, a throwback American Pale Ale. Centennial, Chinook, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Columbus are copiously utilized to create a vibrant and complex flavor profile. We taste and smell red grapefruit, clementine, pine, and a hint of lemon with a delicate floral component rounding things off. The perfect beer to accompany ever shortening summer days!

The aroma offers dried mango, dank, sweet juicy fruit, floral, passionfruit.
On the flavor, passionfruit, orange zest, dry touch of grass and herbaceous, with lemon zest and floral on the finish.
The beer almost drinks like a pale ale version of Green. One of the best pale ales around.

First off This is a pale ale???? I could not even tell.
L - pale yellow almost hay color. Huge haze but that perfect for this beer.
S - Pine. Malt? Tiny Fruit.
T - Woah this is epic, huge pine at first and by the second glass it has all moved aside for huge fruit flavors. Pineapple, peach, orange. Super bitter and moves to perfectly sweet and bitter. Complex to say the least.
F - I mean it makes my mouth water, perfect carbonation even from a (albeit fresh) growler.
O - I would make another 3 hour trip to Tree house If they canned this beer, It is another epic beer from them just like Julius, Green, and Haze.

L - 4.50 - murky amber. Deep, orange brown. I've got a real thing for hazy beers and Tree House sure does it well!
S - 4.25 - smells surprisingly malty. Sticky pine sap with fruit trying to shine through like sunshine through the clouds.
T - 4.25 - dark bold citrus up front with tropical notes fringing the edges. It's got some tang, but tastes like it looks. Think overripe fruit. Dry, bready finish. Pungent malt aftertaste.
F - 4.25 - lush and graceful, like a fluffy cat kneading your chest.
O - 4.25 - another strong offering from Tree House. Bold foray into a different style of pale ales than they're used to.

Look - orange/gold glow and murky. Upon poor from a super fresh 750ml, a two-three finger head that receded fairly quickly to a thin layer.
Smell - grapefruit with a touch of pine.
Taste - juicy citrus, mild on the hops, with floral after notes. After letting this APA sit for five or so more minutes the flavors mentioned really opened up prompting me to change my scoring.
Feel - well balanced and juicy, this is a great Summer beer!
Overall - Tree House always knocks it out of the park. If you don't think this is a home run you have to admit it's a bases clearing triple.
