A: Moderately high citrusy (lots of grapefruit and lemon) and lightly danky with piney/resiny hops, coupled with a light malt presence that’s faintly sweet.
A: Golden color, totally clear with excellent clarity. The beer has a massive frothy white head of uniform microbubbles. Excellent head retention with moderate lacing in the glass.
T: Pretty hoppy upfront, full of citrus and light pine/resiny flavors. There is a light clean malt presence that’s faintly sweet. The beer is crisp with a dry finish. There is a moderately low bitterness that lingers.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Excellent; the beer has a great citrus and berry like presence that really pops. There is just enough malt to support the beer. Quite delicious and easy to drink.

A: Pours clear golden amber with a creamy off white head that settles to a nice layer and laces well.
S: Citrus, sweet grapefruit and a little lemon, a hint of pine, and light caramel malt sweetness.
T: Sweet juicy citrus, grapefuit and lemon, a hint of pine, maybe some faint kinda fruity notes, and a little caramel malt sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, very smooth.
O: Doesn't come across as overly complex, but it's still a really tasty brew, perfect for kicking back and watching the sun set over the bay.

This is the best Pale Ale that I have ever had. Sorry Sierra Nevada, you cannot hold a candle to this.
