Pour is clean and clear, modest finger or two of head. Picking up floral and light citrus in the aroma. First sip is bitterness up front, followed right after with a moderate fruity flavor on the finish. Feel is good, the malt base adds some body and tempers the hops. All together, a good APA and quite refreshing. Modest 5.6% ABV helps to make it something you'd like to have another as the follower.

16oz can from Pints n Wine. Golden pour, light cloudiness, one finger foamy head settles out. Bready aroma, dry. Taste is bread, malty with a light dry hoppiness. Pretty quick finish.

By the campfire at Alfred Loeb State Park outside Brookings OR.
Crowler, $7.
No idea of the color since i forgot to take a glass and was guzzling right out o fthe crowler.
Had good fresh floral and citrus hop aromas..quite strong for most pales.
Taste was somewhat the same to the aroma a goodish bit of bitterness....i think this is similar to SNPA, that is a great thing.
Mouth feel was excellent, well carbonated but easy to drink.
Good APA

Golden amber in color, slightly hazy. Thin, beige head with streak lacing. Aroma has floral and herbal notes, citrus fruit and cracker malt. Flavor is hops forward, grass, pine, herbs, & grapefruit. Watery mouthfeel and resinous finish. Nice hops bitterness in the aftertaste. A little more like an IPA, but lower ABV. Very flavorful, a good beer overall.

Discovered this beer while on vacation. I'm from Ohio and we flew to San Francisco, then drove up the Pacific Coast Highway to Seattle to visit our son. We stopped in Gold Beach, OR for the night and the hotel manager told us to try Arch Rock Brewery for dinner. I ordered this beer and was blown away. This is the best beer I have had to date. Smelled great and tasted even better. Very refreshing, I could have drank this all night. I can only hope they start bottling this and somehow ship it to Ohio.

A precise fresh pale ale that boarders on an IPA. This is a must to stop by and fill up a growler.
