Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of floral and citrus hops. Tastes of grassy hops with hints or floral and citrus. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Good orange gold color with light khaki head, 80% transparent.

Nose teased a bit of caramel and produce dept.

Taste was hop led bitterness and a rather restrained malt leading to a watery result for me

Mid bodied but the taste tilted it toward the leaner side.

I was expecting a bit more malt but perhaps I need more experience with the pale ale. All of my tasting scores of pale ales have been lower than IPAs for example.

Serving: 1 pint 3.2 fl. oz can (“01/19/22B… Rocky Top”) poured into a shaker pint glass.

Appearance: Slightly hazy, deep gold approaching amber. Pours with an amazing rocky head of white foam that persists and leaves sticky lace along the glass.

Smell: Orange and lemon citrus, pine needles and biscuits.

Taste: Crisply dry and balanced, with plenty of citrus, piney and resinous hops along with nice biscuit and caramel malt body.

Mouthfeel: Medium body, slight oily feel, and moderate carbonation.

Overall: Timeless balance of hops and malt, fantastic West Coast APA.

This beer pours a dark golden color, almost amber. Quite clear looking. The head is 2 finger, white, frothy, and fluffy looking. The head retention is quite good, and the head clings to the glass to form nice lacing as it dissipates.
Nose is quite minimal. I do get a faint hint of hops that makes me think of pine.
Up front I get a nice malty biscuit flavor, slightly buttery. This biscuit doesn't last long, because the hops then kick in. They're not as strong as an IPA (of course), but they're there, and linger. The hops tend toward pine. There's also a slight earthy, grassy flavor here also.
Body is crisp, but also full at the same time.
Overall this is a quite delicious beer, and I'm glad we've got it locally now.

Muted aroma but nice taste. Old school in a good way. Little bit of hoppy bite but not over the top. Clean and lively.

Clean, easy drinking pale ale, almost like a dry hopped lager, very crisp flavor with excellent carbonation, hop profile with just a touch of juice, fruit (apple, lemon), herbs and spice (mint, pepper, pine). Refreshing, on the lighter side for IPA fans - as it should be. An extremely well done ale.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a big fluffy off-white head that settles into a solid cap.

The aroma is of citrus and tropical hop notes. Orange and pineapple with a bit of spice in the end.

The taste has more bitter hop notes. I get some orange with a noticeable piney bite. Light pineapple provides some brightness. Sweet bready malt. Good balance.

Solid mouthfeel with semi-soft carbonation. Starts sweet from the malt but quickly transitions to the piney bitterness.

A fine APA. Plenty of hops flavors for the style though the hop profile didn't wow me.

16oz can filled on 5/11/21 poured into an imperial pint glass.
L: Pours a lightly cloudy light orange amber with a thick pillowy off-white head with large bubbles. Head stays creamy & thick in the center. Excellent thick lacing.
S: Caramel, papaya, flowers, white bread, malt.
T: Peach, orange pith, papaya, caramel, dry mango, some breadiness, slightly dank subtle pine which lingers in the medium-long finish. There are notes of black tea flavoring within the finish as well that blend well with the pine.
F: Very soft, creamy medium-bodied mouthfeel that is plush and has a delicate finish that is moderately long. It is gently tart and firmly dry.
O: Lightly dank and fruity this Pale Ale is smooth and drinks quite nicely. A great compliment to many foods as it is not too sweet or aggressive with flavors. It is dry. An excellent beer!

Interesting beer in a category that doesn't always produce the most interesting tastes. It has a very cool orange color. Smell is decent and fresh but otherwise nothing special. Taste is top notch, with a good dry and bitter finish without feeling too heavy. Overall good pale ale that tastes heavier than it feels.

From the tap, it pours a hazy golden amber with a nice white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. In the nose, it is flowery and a bit citrus. Taste has a slight bitterness, along with some citrus.
