This pours a reddish copper color. It is cloudy with some sediment. The can says it is non-filtered. It has a fruity malt aroma with just a touch of hops. The overall effect is very fruity, like tropical fruits with a hint of sour. The taste is malty, fruitcake and caramel. This is definitely not a typical American style pale ale that veers toward hop forward. It is more like an English ale.
I am not a huge fan of a big yeast taste, so when I tried this again I left the yeast sediment in the can. It was even more balanced and enjoyable to me that way, but some people like a real yeasty beer.
The beer is brewed in Conroe, Texas. I picked it up at Pete's Liquor Bucket in Merrillville, Indiana.
