Pours a nice shade of gold with a reasonable sized head on top. The smell and the taste are hoppy, slightly bitter, slightly sweet with grain hints also. This is a nice pale ale

Clear dark amber color. Poured a medium height head of all fine bubbles which then started to combine into a mix of sizes. The head took several minutes to collapse down to a skiff with some thicker patches. Very low rate of tiny bubbles rising from the bottom and side of the glass. Left a few patches of lacing.

Slightly sweet smell with some light malt. Fairly strong musty yeast smell. Swirling the glass kicked up a light vegetable hop scent and a faint touch of barnyard.

Medium-light bitters and a sweet flavor. Very mild malt. The bitters build as it warms in the mouth. The aftertaste is dominated by the bitters which pop out much stronger. The bitters build up over time, so they are at a medium level by the end of the glass.

Quickly foams up even though it didn't appear like there was much carbonation. The foam never gets to a creamy state, instead the bubbles quickly combine and collapse back to more fluid. Slightly astringent.

Pretty average pale ale. Nothing detracts and nothing really jumps out. The bitters build up while drinking, so they reach into the range of an IPA by the end of the glass. Well executed.
