Quite hazy golden and light amber coloured body with a bright orange glow and a relatively thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and slightly soapy off-white head. Aroma of grass, hay, light alpha acids from the hops with a small nutty and earthiness with a dry bite towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and slightly citrusey flavours show up first with a good hit of grapefruit and lemons along with some orange sugars and a touch of grain coming through the edges. Aftertaste shows the grassy and very herbal profile with a good hit of sweetness from the oranges with a good crisp profile throughout that hits with some nice bitterness, but sweet qualities that makes this APA nice and rich throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased a few minutes ago from Wawa here next to my hotel in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 02-January-2020 for US$2,29 sampled a few minutes later in my hotel room here in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 02-January-2020, my second daughter's sixth birthday - Happy Birthday Paige!

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a decent grapefruit. Nothing special but it there. Flavor is big sticky malt with some grapefruit hops. A bit old school and a bit weak for today's APA's

Can 1 pint. Pours an almost clear golden with a lacing, white head. Super refreshing citrusy hop nose. Medium body, somewhat chalky and fruity dry with a medium late bitterness. But a well crafted non-hazy Pale Ale. 290819

16 oz. can. Pours a cloudy, dark, yellow color, with a small, fleeting, fizzy, white head. The aroma is pine, roses, mangoes, latex, dry grass, and bitter orange. Sweet and malty, with a hard, sticky bitterness. Medium body, with a dry, astringent, and crisp mouthfeel. This is a hard and aggressive pale ale, but reasonably tasty.

Can at the January DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a light orange color with a small white head. Aroma was light, mild resin notes. Flavor was light resin hop character, some citrus peel, with a pleasant floral hop presence. Light sweetness on the finish.
