Mike’s Review

This beer was poured from a 12 oz brown glass bottle into a pint glass with white foam head and is dark amber in color.  It has the aroma of citrusy tropical fruits with undertones of caramel malts and hops.  The taste is a similar to the aroma with a citrusy tropical fruit flavor at the beginning of the taste developing into a mild hoppy bitterness.  This is an excellent blend of flavors with a great hop profile.  This is one of the better Pale Ales I’ve had to date.  This is definitely a must try and I cannot wait to have another one.

Matt’s Review

Really enjoyed the last Widmer Brother IPA I had and could not wait for their pale ale. The beer has a golden red to it and the head is a solid layer of foam. The aroma is a very pine-like smell. The beer is not as hoppy as I would hope but has a crisp finish to it. If you have a favorite pale ale I would stick with that one but if you cross this one take a chance with it.
