12 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, bottled on 5/12/2017. Pours fairly cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, lime, peach, pear, red apple, melon, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, lime, peach, pear, red apple, melon, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, peach, pear, red apple, melon, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.9%. Overall this is a very nice English pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Flavorful and not watery for the lighter body. Well balanced citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and a solid pale malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Held up well for being 18 months old.

Don't hate it, but don't quite care for it either. It's okay. Little hoppy, bit lemony, hay like crisp pilsner but not quite the pale ale I want it to be.

Poured a slightly cloudy golden, with bits of yeast sediment, forming a decent white head which thins quickly atop small to medium sized bubbles, leaving wisps of lace at the sides. Carbonation is moderate. Mouthfeel is bright and crisp, with a medium-light body. Aroma speaks "Quality Pilsener"...fresh with green Saaz hops, a firm, bready maltiness, mild freshly mown hay, and a soft water character. This may be fermented with an ale strain, but it is definitely a pilsener in every other way. Taste starts out with a full, spicy Saaz flavor, and if you've ever eaten crystal malt 20, you'll instantly recognize it here...lots of bready, grainy crystal malt body, ending in a somewhat floral, moderately aggressive bittering hop complemented by a lingering sweet malt finish. Very crisp, clean, and refreshing with no appreciable off-flavors. A very well done Pilsener, 2nd to Bell's Beer for best Pilsener in Michigan.
