As most people on this site I enjoy trying new beers. I found this one while I was visiting morro bay. CA. I figured I would give this a try. To my suprise this APA went down nice and smooth. It's not the best one ever but probably ranked in the middle of the pack. Recommended to try.

Pours a clear golden with a decent albeit short-lived white head. Light scents of hops on the nose. Flavors are somewhat sweet with fruit in the background. Very pleasent, not overbearing. Definately a session and/or lawnmower brew. Not very full bodied, but light and refreshing. Bottle courtesy of Zorro.

Appearance: Medium gold hazed body, 1/2" head that fades slow while bubbles randomly break.

Smell: Fesh cut grass and grain, hops are clean and well balanced.

Taste: A very interesting sour/bitter flavor starts out, bready malt next, then a subtle citrus flavor ends it. Reminds me somewhat of Schell's Pale Ale, both very smooth and sessionable.

Mouthfeel: Rich and full, well carbonated, slightly metallic.

Drinkability: Yep, an easily sessionable pale ale, nothing off, but maybe a little underpowered. Thanks to Zorro for the bottle.

Pours a clear golden colored ale with a good white head. Looks a lot like a Pilsner; this is one of the palest APAs I have ever seen.

Very herbal hoppy scent. The first thing you will smell is strong spicy herbs and then after a bit the grapefruit scent asserts itself. Malt is light with a bit honey to it. Faint flower aromas to this, a surprisingly aromatic ale.

Taste is slight sweetness and bread base flavor with a sharp and crisp herbal bite. Tasty herbal hops here and a lot of them. There is a bit of honey flavor to the malt but this isn't a sweet beer. Light woody aftertaste that does a really good job of clearing your taste buds for the next taste.

Mouthfeel is good and full.

An excellent session beer here. I have to admit I expected a bottle of swill based upon my past experiences with this brewery. What I got is an excellent APA that emphasizes the herbal hops. I now regret not buying a whole six pack of this. A beer I can recommend from a brewer I usually do not recommend.
