12 oz. can from HEB, Boerne, TX. Pours a clear dark orange-gold color with a small off-white head and decent retention. Light spotty lacing. Strong floral hoppy aroma. Very strong floral hoppy, and bitter piney flavor to match the nose. This could easily pass for an IPA. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Medium-high bitterness. Too bitter for me.

Keg at the Brewery. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, toasty grain, soft peachy fruits, nectarine, caramel, toffee, bread and a bit of pine. The taste is dry, bitter, grassy, pine, toasted grain, light spice, light spice, straw and cereal with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. More maltybthan I was expecting, but easy drinking.

Pours a very dark amber from a can, big piney/citrus hop aroma and flavor, mellow mouthfeel, very drinkable. Good beer.

Shared 12 oz. can. Pours orange/golden with a white head. Aroma is inviting and fruity with plenty of citrus and grapefruit. Flavor-wise, the fruitiness is toned down, and the malt and bitter piney hops come through to the forefront a bit more. Middle of the road pale ale overall.

Bronze colour. The aroma is slightly stale c hop.. Moderate bitterness. Has a light caramel taste, and a fair amount of grapefruit. Would prefer it to be bright, though.

16 oz pint at the Karbach Brewing Company in Houston, Texas. The pour is a mostly clear golden with a smaller white head. Decent lace left behind on the glass. The aroma is soft citrus hop along with some floral and cracker malt. The taste is a mix of the floral hop and softly sweet biscuit malt. There is also a general ripeness of the grain which is a bit off putting. Bitter herbal finish lingers. The palate is light bodied with soft carbonation and the mineral dirt, somewhat unclean finish.

12 oz can, purchased at the H.E.B, Austin, Tx in a mixed 12 pack. Color is darker than the start and Hefe, Amber hue to the gold. Aroma is fresh with mint, floral and citrus hop notes.

The flavor is mostly what the aroma tells me: mint or wintergreen notes right up front with the floral notes leading to a drying texture over the palate. Bitterness is nice and lingering at a moderate level. Overall this is a session style brew with a decent amount of flavor that pleases me.
