With an straight pour and no tilt of the glass, the head foamed up to a half inch of creamy seduction. It's light amber hue allows light to shine through, exposing its clean filtered essence. The first scent is won by malts with hop notes lightly accenting its pungency. The smell is refreshing, leaving you eager to taste it. As it floods the palate, the smooth maltyness and light hoppy finish blend to reveal floral qualities that leave a pleasant taste. As it passes the epiglottis and descends the esophagus a sweet, hoppy taste is left in your mouth.
The beer is amazing but I feel that a full spectrum of flavor was not achieved. Overall I would rate the Mirror Pond Pale Ale a A-
Appearance - A
Smell - A+
