12 oz. can. Clear, pale orange, with a medium, bubbly, off-white head. The aroma is orange peel, cereal, hay, apricot, and sharp pine. Aggressively bitter, and nicely dry. Long, bitter aftertaste. Light to medium body, crisp, and very grainy. This is a pretty nice, aromatic, very hoppy pale ale.

12 oz. can into a large pilsner. Best by 09/152015. A: Clear deep brass with little head or retention. Patchy lacing. S: Pale malt scent much like a pilsner. Light floral hop note T: Following the nose, pale cracker malts and bitter crisp hops combine in nice balance to make a good clean taste. Nothing extraordinary but nicely done even if more pilsner-like than pale ale. A bit more ale flavor as it warms. M: Thin for the strength and not terribly highly carbonated. Average. O: Doesn’t strike me as much like any pale ale I know but a good tasting brew nonetheless. Worth a try if you’re a pilsner fan seeking to get into pale ales.

12oz can pours with a clear pure gold body that supports a thin dirty white head. The modest aroma offers up a blend of biscuit malts and a mineral sort of note along with vague mild hoppiness. The taste delivers pine and floral bitter hops as well as biscuit maltiness. To midway it picks up more bitter hops that are largely spicy and kind of lime like noble hoppiness. Decent classic Pale and the taste is growing on me.

Pretty clean, but overly simplistic and overly sweet pale ale - fruity, citric hop character, but not enough bitterness to balance out the high.sweetness - finish of candied orange - meh.

12oz can. Murky, clearly unfiltered orange-tan-yellow. Steady thin head. Earthy APA aroma. Medium bodied, middle of the road offering. Certainly rescued by the creamy yeast tones, the malt and hop profiles are pretty bland. Light soapiness, some biscuity golden malt tones. Kind of works as an English Bitter. Not that impressive, but drinkable. 2015 and this is pretty different. Filtered for one. Grassy, dry, fairly respectable. Kind of like a Session IPA in flavor. Not so bad, not so good.
