Overall Score 40/60 A good Beer

I am a pale Ale man to the max.  This was my first style into the foray with craft beer.  It is a very easy style to get involved in when experimenting with new beer styles.  This is a very good Plae ale.  The head was muted do to the pouring from a can.  I had to rotate the glass to get the head to rise and the boutique to flow through.  In later pours I poured straight down the glass to get the carbonation going ans get the flavors to move around the beer.  A much better glass of beer.  The boutique was very floral with piney undertones.  A good Pale Ale boutique.  The hops helped to balance out the crisp mouth feel and help add a dry finish.  The taste was great and compared to other pale ales was a good finisher.  The dry finish of the hops kept the aftertaste alive and kept me coming back for more.  Overall a pleasant experience and a good beer.
