Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Deep copper bodied orange, amber golden color with a real nice clarity. Big lacing and head, three fingers, but with light retention and lots of bubbly pill coating along the sides of the glass. Great looking amberish like ale.

Real diverse nose. Good balance here in malt and hops, a spicy malt angle touches a bit of brown sugar and suspected caramel. Very hop forward touching a big amount of zesty citrus orange oil, and spicy green bitter herbs to match. There's this real nice balance between sweet malt and bitter hop that is really pleasant and done exceptionally.

Palate kind of sticks to simplicity. Light but simple bodied enough to make the flavors come through without being too light. First hit of crispy malt backbone, a bit dry with faint touches of brown sugar. Hop angle on the palate is a little more indistinct than on the nose. Slight touches of light bitterness and earth seem more dominant, with only a few fruity hints to maybe get out.

Decent and above average pale ale
