Appearance: Clear gold, medium size white head, light lacing.
Aroma: Smells a bit like a pilsner before yielding to spicy, floral hops.
Taste: Grains have the flavor of rye. Hops seem to mimic the Noble varieties.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with good carbonation. Finishes dry.
Overall: Originally had on tap at the brewery a little over a year ago and was mildly disappointed. This bottled version (best by date of 3-24-22) is much better. They may be experimenting with the hops and fine tuning the recipe and the dividends are paying off.

Poured from the can into a nonic pint glass.
Beaming super clear body, a bright crystal shining brass gold color with mirror like appearances. Head creation is a light somewhat soapy, but nice touching rich four finger white bright bleach head. Large soapy bubbles make the head cascade nicely down to meetin with pill lacing and some lovely carbonation.
Nice aroma. Solid and basic, a faint touch of caramel mixing with a mild fruit softness, and some spicy to herbal hop notes.
Palate seems a little ordinary. Simple malt backbone delivers a good platform for the flavor, but little to get excited about for a pale ale. Light touching notes of brown sugar and toast. Quite almost getting into cinnamon as well which is kind of cool. Fleeting finish with not much aftertaste, mild sensing caramel, a little bit of indistinct fruity hop, but rather passing and quickly forgettable.
Simple pale ale, with a hint of unique character, but just nothing that brings a bit of wow or solid enjoyment. Certainly drinkable.

Poured from 16oz can. Very clear and pale yellow/orange with great carbonation and nice head retention. Aroma is very bready and buiscuity. Almost not hop aroma, but the malt aroma is great. Taste follows the aroma. Very nice bready, grain flavor. Touch sweet, crisp hop finish but zero bitterness. A really, really nice pale ale with plenty of flavor and body and finishes very clean and slick on the toungue. Highly recommend as a change of pace from citrus hop bomb ales. It almost feels like an English ale.
