Still in Colorado:
LOOK: Pours a clear and very light pale orange orange with a generous all white head that
has both decent retention and side glass lace.
AROMA: Citrus hops lead with a tropical emphasis. Mango and papaya, some pine.
TASTE: This tastes like a couple of my recently reviewed IPA's. These tropical fruits get balanced with some bread malts.
FEEL: Slightly sweet, drying, only mildly bitter and a touch tart.
Enjyed!

Poured from a 12oz can into a pint glass
Look: light amber colored, rocky head that disappated after a couple minutes. Slight bit of haze.
Aroma: earthy hop aromas come through strong, with a light malty backbone. Very simple and straightforward
Taste: Only two flavors here, the light malt and the hops. Hops come through more, I'd say 70/30 hops to malt flavor. Nothing special, but a solid standard pale ale.
Mouthfeel: a little low on carbonation, leading to a watery mouthfeel. A little astringent ending.
Overall: It's a pale ale, nothing more, nothing less. About as simple as you can get, but done pretty well.

Can't hate on it simple pale ale with pale malts and a decent hop bitterness making it easy to crush. Definitely not the best or worst pretty run of the mill stuff.

Beer pours with a nice golden appearance with two fingers of soapy head that slowly melted into and held on. Nice lacing on the glass.
Smells like someone left some tropical fruits in a pine forest. Bright clear hop presence.
Taste is a punch of hops that is quickly mellowed by the malts. The hops are just like the nose, piney and tropical on the tongue.
Mouth feel is light and crisp.Very dry finish makes a person go in for another sip.
For a pale ale this one ticks almost all of the boxes and is very light and refreshing to drink. The hops do tend to leave a bit of lingering bitterness, yet I feel this adds to that nice bitter snap at the end of the sip. If you like pale ales and can find this I recommend it. I found it at a Denver liquor store near my hotel while I was visiting and got a fresh six pack. Hope you can find it and enjoy it. Cheers!
