This was a really nice beer! Classic west coast pale ale…great copper colour, hops really shine in this beer. Just enough crystal malt keeping the beer on the dry side. I like the softer bitterness keeping it from going into ipa territory….well balanced beer

On pouring, easy to notice the beautiful golden / copper colour! Hops definitely present on the nose. Does not taste like it smells (which is *not* a bad thing). Citrus on the back-end. Interestingly, I get a slight smokiness in the flavour which piques my interest. The body is great. Still deciphering the flavour-party in my mouth. Wonderfully pungent, acidic and dry with an exceptionally long finish.

Solid Pale Ale! Great, smooth mouth feel with really nice hop aroma! I could crush a few of these

Thoroughly enjoyable pale ale and a reminder that crystal isn’t inherently evil. Very smooth with a lovely hop character.

Echoing all of the above except no smokiness in mine. super clear, great color, wonderful lasting ivory head that laces proficiently on the glass. So smooth and easy drinking. Reminds me strongly of Sierra Nevada pale ale, ( which I may have to cross reference next week in SC). Very well done! Commercial quality

Ditto except no Sierra Nevada to compare too

If this is what Sierra Nevada is like, I understand why it's a giant.
I'm already very far behind but enjoyed this one last night.
this was a perfect blend of citrus and spice aroma, with a full body of malty character to back it up.
