This is just a refreshing, uncomplicated, summer's day pale ale - and it is exactly what I am looking for in a pale ale. This is not the most amazing pale ale I've ever had - but it is like a good sli ce of pizza: how can anyone complain about it?
I think it carries a slight grapefruit aroma, with some nice bitterness and a touch of citrus and pine. Poured nicely from my keg with the perfect amount of carbonation. Autumn colored with nice clarity.
I was surprised at how little I paid for a sixtel of this. This could be a go-to beer for me

This is a great session ale.....ranks with founders all day, etc. The golden clear ale had a nice white head that is leaving some lace. The scent carries pine and orange peel. The taste carries the pine and slight spiced citrus through the drink and it finishes bitter but comes off the pallet nicely. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall.....YUMMY!

12 oz. bottle, best before 06/08/2015. Acquired this through the mixed Spring variety pack.
Poured into a clear balloon snifter.
A - Pours a typical golden / sienna orange body with one finger of short-lived bubbly white head that fades to a ring. Some decent sticky scattered strands of lacing. Looks nice for what it is.
S - A pungent, herbal, floral, hoppy aroma. Slight horseradish type aroma. Bready cereal / wheat / crystal malts.
T - Taste is much more bitter than I would have imagined, especially since it bears the tag "Session IPA" on the label. Herbal & floral hops, with good crisp bready crystal malt backing.
M - The feel is smooth, crisp, & clean. Light-bodied with good carb. Moderate hop bitterness on the palate.
Overall, a fairly average 'Session IPA' from Great Lakes. Has a bit more of an earthy , bitter hop aspect to it that I don't normally find in a lot of other session IPA's. Worth a try, especially if you pick up the variety pack.
Great Lakes Truth, Justice And The American Ale -----3.5/5
