Clear dark amber color with beige head. Aroma has spicy, grainy malts, toasted bread crust and sweet orange peel. Taste has also nutty, spicy, toasted malts with piney hops and orange peel notes. Light earthy bitterness on the finish. Medium body and carbonation. An easy drinking, malt forward pale ale.

Really pleasant look, with a consistent head and good carbonation.
Flowery, hoppy smell. Bitter taste, but dominated by the aromatic hops (which is not in such big quantities like a real craft ale, but still very decent).
Very pleasant overall.

Unsure why its called a Pale Ale quite dark, I would say closer to a Ruby Ale

Pours a filtered clear reddish brown with a lowish off white head that did not leave more than some spots of lace. Nose (labled as dry hopeed with amraillo & citra for a tropical fruit aroma) is better than a bad beer, but doesn't really impress. Mild canned fruit cocktail, but overall soft. Taste is initially a bit off. After a few sips, seems to be okay, with light hoppy bitterness, maybe some spice from the rye, but overall does not impress. Better than a really bad British ale like something from Green King, but not something I'll have again likely.

Pours a dark redwood stain colour with surface covered off white head with rim
Nice floral aroma with definite rye notes
But the flavour like rye revisionist is dull watery bitter
