Hazey and pale golden yellow color, steady carbonation within with a tall one inch head of perfectly evened and bubbled whitish froth leaving great amounts of sticky webby sheets as it diminishes. A thick skim remains present the entire glass down. Nice looking glass of ale!

Nice citrusy strong hop nose mixed with a floral tone and a toasty bread-like malt backing. Crisp, fresh, well rounded, balanced, and yummy smellin'.

Taste is well balanced between a sweet citrusy hop edge and a toasty biscuit malt backing, there's some nice little subtleties, and a great give and take between em. Hops give, malts take, malts give, hops take, its not a battle, more like a gentle pardon to let one compliment the other til it finishes with yet more intriguing subtle things going on where it drys out staying crisp up front but smoothing in the back. I'm fascinated by its balance.

Exceptional feel for a pale, crisp and smooth, yielding hoppy citrus tones leaving little tidbits of bittering both on the palate and even the lips. Close to full body with a slightly fluffy carbonation where a fine maltiness coats the middle areas and where left over hops may casually burp up. Finishing very gradual into a drying of both characters between the citrusy sweet hops and toasty malts.

This is one hell of a balanced pale, quite nice, well rounded, and well balanced. Did I mention its well balanced? I liked it eh.
Fine, fine stuff!

Picked up a bottle of this over at South Bay Drugs and Liquor, thinking that it would go for a trade I realized that I picked up the wrong beer, so I must dispose of this myself :o)

Pours a pale yellow, a little less vibrant than straw, with almost and inch of foam. The head retains fairly well.

Quite the hoppy pale ale! Juicy citrus hops, fresh grapefruit and still green orange with some zesty lemon, almost like if there was a wedge of lemon inside the glass. A few toasted malts but mostly biscuit and bread dough, hints of caramel as well.

Tastes more malty compared to the citrus notes on the nose. Toasted malts quickly followed by the biscuit and bread flavors but there’s still a good dose of bitterness and a touch of lemon on the finish. Very refreshing beer.

Very good amount of carbonation, feels almost creamy. Easy to drink .

A - Clear, clean straw colored body with tons of bubble action. Thick off white, fluffy looking head that is about one finger tall.

S - Nice citrusy hoppy aroma combined with bready pale malts. Grapefruit and lemon.

T - Nice pleasing hoppy flavors of grapefruit and a little pine. Slight bitter bite. Finishes with grainy, biscuity malts.

M - Medium bodied with full carbonation. Clean finish.

D - Super easy to drink. Could be dangerous on a hot summer day. This tastes oh so good after a week of Sam Adams and the ilk in Vegas.
