Copper color without the highest pedigree clarity wise. Average 1/2" head, mostly white, not virgin though. Aroma had some citrus impression, mostly grapefruit.

Taste was a light toasted malt affair with some C hops sprinkled around, plus maybe Simcoe or Amarillo in there. Its close to balanced and an easy drinking affair, which is nice you don't have to deal with 100ibu and crystal malt all the time.

In a 22 0x. bomber...no bottle on date, but think this one has been sitting a while. The malt is very forward in the smell...no hop aroma, still in the taste you can pick out the centennial hops but other than that a mediocre pale ale.
