Pure golden yellow body with a light head that thinned but retained fairly well. Not much lace. Moderate carbonation.
Didn't really smell like much other than the expected pine aroma from the hops. A deeper couple whiffs and you get some citrus too.
Very enjoyable flavors, with hops spiciness up front, a good sharpness balanced by the bitterness and a strong enough malt sweetness and citrus-y element to add further balance and depth. Felt good and tingly in the mouth, just ever so slightly on the watery end of things.
No real complaints. If you're looking for a sharp and bitter Pale Ale with good balance, this delivers.

Pours nearly clear orange color with full white head. Scent is floral, citrus and malty. Hops come in on the taste, with citrus and malts still present. Light mouthfeel and an aftertaste that follows the taste

Really hoppy pale. Closer to an IPA. Solid, good.

Aroma of hops and pine. Super carbonated. Dry mouthfeel. Really not much taste, but a watery finish.

I'm trying this at my Bestie's in Charlotte. It poured a clear golden with no head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had hints of over prime and bitter hop. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with fizzy carbonation. Overall it's ok.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Hazy Amber with a thick off white head.
Smell: Very strong citrus smell with pine notes.
Mouthfeel/ Taste: Smooth medium bodied. Taste of bitter hops and pine notes. Light citrus.
Overall: Not a bad beer. But far from the best pale ale. I would not go out of my way to have it again.
