Thanks to bullywee for this 12 oz bottle (received and consumed last summer- just now catching up on some leftover review notes from then). Poured into a Duvel tulip.

See-thru golden amber body with a finger of off-white head. While the head size is modest, the retention is good, and some nice sticky lacing is left.

Smells nice and fresh. Sweet bready malts and crisper grains allow some light grapefruit and grassiness to peek through. Tastes pretty much the same. Balance leans toward the malty side, once again sweet and crisp/toasty. Some grassy/spicy notes seem to be hidden in there. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation with modest grapefruit presence that asserts itself most strongly right at the swallow.

Overall impression: Solid APA that goes down nice and easy.

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.
