An American Pale Ale built just like your best friend - dependable, fun, full of flavor, and fits in with just about anyone. Hit with Centennial hops four times during the brew process, this crisp clean beer has slight floral notes, a distinct piney flavor, and just enough hop to let you know it cares.

Pours a semi cloudy orange. Thin foam. Floral aroma. Big floral hop body. Fades to a nice malty sweetness. Light bitterness. Crisp and refreshing. Great flavor.

12 ounce can, no dating that I could find on the can or label. Got this from my friend Denis who stopped at the brewery a week or 2 ago. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a slightly hazy golden/orange color with about an inch and a half off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like pine and floral hops, along with some bready and caramel malt. Taste is just like the aroma, with pine/floral hop and bready/caramel malt flavors. Nice easy drinking pale ale, it's smooth, a bit slick and has a good amount of carbonation. I liked this one, worth a try if you're into floral/piney pale ales.
