Crisp, hop forward and dangerously drinkable. This dry-hopped American style Pale Ale opens with an orange, citrusy aroma and finishes nice & clean.

Drinking this at Chevelle's Restaurant in downtown Murphy NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks golden yellow with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells lightly bready, citrusy, orange grapefruit sweet.
Taste follows the nose nicely.
Mouth feel is medium light for the style.
Overall a very nice Pale Ale that I would definitely order again.
Cheers!

Picked up as part of a mixed six pack for $10.98 from the Ingles cooler on Spartanburg Hwy in Flat Rock 8-27-21. Canned 7-21-21; consumed 11-11-21. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured golden orange with a very nice white head.
Nose is light citrus forward, not overly pungent.
Taste is a near sessionable pale and caramel malt base that is orange and grapefruit forward. Finishes with a relatively bitter orange zest finish; 7/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and fairly refreshing.
Overall not a bad west coast pale ale which is a style not scene much these days except in the NE style.

beautiful light amber/honey colored body, big white foamy head, and aromas are fresh hops of citrusy greenery.
Taste has a light toasted caramel malt base with generous hop counterbalancing
Feel is crushing and overall it's an outstanding beer that i am lucky enough to get fresh at the source.
Well deserving of the 90 rating

Chinese gold filtered with a little fine carbonation and 2 fingers of white head.
Smells of peaches and pears, pineapple and light pine.
Peaches, pineapple and pine.

Can from Ingles, Franklin NC Oct 2018, maybe 7-8 weeks old (?); Nice pale ale, kind of a poor man’s MIAMega Mix, definitely in the new American pale styling of hop forward ale bordering on IPA

Attractive, colorful 12 oz. can, a lighter honey, clear golden body (til the end you can fog it), and a nice airy white head
Smells fresh, floral, fruity, juicy fruit, peachy apricot , green and really unique in a good way.
Taste follows nose somewhat, lightly malt sweet tart, hops accents and cut; it's super drinkable nimble feeling ale with a nice body and clean dry balanced finish. Excellent! Wonderful malt aromas as it warms, and down the glass....
I have to have this fine ale pretty often- but REWARD is killer APA: super aroma, taste, feel ...it's ALL there and it is a reward!! Find, acquire, enjoy, repeat! Worthy of repeated enjoyment!

Oured aggressively this clear orange beer has a two finger dense, sticky head that leaves nice bands of lacing. It smells floral and sweet with some grain and orange citrus notes. Tastes sweet and grainy with flowers and citrus. There is a nice bitterness at the end that is is pithy grapefruit and floral. This is a really nice APA.

Golden with white head poured into pint glass. Beer smells wonderful to me, I wish all pale ales and IPA's smelled this great. Tastes grapefruit/pine like to me and finishes quick and clean. Very drinkable, kinda like some session IPA's are but I would go with something like this over that style. Very close to qualifying as a refrigerator beer. It is a little too clean on the finish but I did enjoy drinking it.
