Love this little Pale Ale; color is perfect straw color; aroma is slightly malty with a light mouthfeel; great balance of hops and crispness; excellent choice for summer session ale.

Needed this after 3 huge IPAs. So clean.
Appearance: Super clear and golden.
Aroma: Mild malt.
Taste: Clean, malty. Like a "Big" company beer with flavor.
Mouthfeel: Light body with high carbonation.

Just realized they changed the name of this beer. It used to be Hay Day but some spat over a trademark and they changed it to Hay Bale.
Friend brought me a bottle as he knows I love this brewery, yet don't get down to their area very often. This would have been another perfect score for them but I think it lost a bit of aroma while in the bottle and there was a very slight haze, again could be from the bottle/age. But, the beer was delicious.
