This is a nice, light, but fairly full flavoured, tasty, well-rounded pale ale.

It's a beautiful, golden-amber with even, sparkly bubbles and a thick, creamy white head that lasts and leaves excellent, even lacing.

The aroma is toasted grain with fruit and a little flowery character plus a hint of caramel.

The taste is toasty grain and flowers with a little citrus and apple, plus a light quality of other ripe fruit, bread and a hint of caramel. The bitter-sweet qualities are nicely balanced. It's also very drinkable.

On tap at Russian River in Santa Rosa, CA.

Hooray! Today the dragon was slayed. Yeah, Raul tried a new Russian River beer to him and it was enjoyable enough like crusining home from fhrb4thbgrsde and mama just bought a 6 pack of gushers. After that was some Daved Ny Yhe Bell and street hockey where Raul made the neighborhood look a fool. Let’s go. Let’s live. Let’s be happy and embrace the realness of reality.

Hut hut hike!

On tap at Russian River Brewing

A: Pours golden copper amber with a frothy eggshell white head that settles to a nice layer and laces beautifully.

S: Grassy, herbal, and floral, light stone fruit, underlying earthy notes, toasty bready malt, and a touch of toffee sweetness.

T: Grassy, floral and herbal notes, stone fruit, plum, apricot, and cherry, slightly earthy, toasty bready malt, and a touch of toffee sweetness.

M: A little on lighter side of medium body, moderate carbonation, goes down easy.

O: As a hop head in hop Mecca, this is hitting the spot as a perfect change of pace. If you're into English style beers, this would be will set you right.

Russian River has a stellar reputation for their hoppy and wild ales, but just about everything they brew is amazing. So I was surprised to find this …forgettable.
Malty and hoppy, but just not exciting.
