Amber in color, darker than most pale ales. Clear. Lasting, but moderate to small head. Minor streaks left on the glass.

Soft, mellow pale malt starts the smell. The hop is flowery but even more subtle. Pleasant and innocuous.

Lightly sweet up front. Good body for the style and the carbonation is slightly elevated. The hop is mildly bitter which leaves a balanced aftertaste. This is classically appropriate for the style. I imagine it won't get hefty marks because it is so middle-of-the-road. But it is still a very well made pale ale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canned a month ago.

L -- Pours a golden amber body with an average-sized off-white head produced with moderately aerated pour. A little retention and minimal lacing
S -- Mostly grassy and herbaceous hoppiness. Some oats, caramel, lemon, and chalk
T -- Largely follows the aromas. Tastes pretty pils-forward, with a honey-doughy sweetness on the tail end
F -- Light mouthfeel, medium carb. Very refreshing and easy drinking

72/100

 

 

Poured from the can into a water glass.

Nice amber color, with thick foam.

The smell is unusually big for an APA. Quite hoppy and bitter.

This stradddles the line between APA and IPA, I feel. Nice, soft bitter hop bite and some resin, backed up by a nice malty base.

Soft liquid with medium body and a lot of carbonation.

This was a good APA, more nose than is usually the case.

 

 

This is one of the more aggressive pale ales that I've had. Pours a medium bronze with a 2 finger thin white head that dissipates at an average rate. Aroma is breaddy and slightly citrusy. Taste is a bitter grapefruit..some slight notes of pepper. Mouth feel is full, round and fizzy. Overall, this was a decent beer. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Would I steer you away from it. No I wouldn't.
