Hazed deep golden color with a fine thick white head. Nice lacing. Some toffee, dried fruits and hoppy aroma. Medium (+) body and a smooth soft carbonation. Tad sweet and a fine bitterness. Oily texture. Lasting finish. Nice balanced flavor that keeps itself within the harse limits. Could easily falled over to the wrong side. Dried fruits, apricot, grapefruit and some pine. Solid hopjuice.

(Thanks, Gene! "Travlr") Can. A- Grapefruit, tangerines, juicy, subtle caramel, subtle hops. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Juicy, citrus, caramel, bitter, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish. O- At first smell, I got everything I expected and more. Lots of juicy tropical citrus fruits. Then on the palate I got more of the same with a decent malt backbone. Balanced out well. Enjoyed this quite a bit.

12 ounce can. Small fluffy beige head. Fresh caramel malt nose with a touch of citrus hops. Sweet toasted malt flavor upfront has hints of toffee and fruit. Subtle citrus hops balance the malt nicely. Slightly chewy sweet malt finish. A nice American Pale Ale.

Can. A hazy, dark golden beer with a small, dense, off-white head leaving some curtains. The aroma is rather piney and grapefruity, with some malty notes in the back. Bread hints. It’s full-bodied, smooth and pleasantly carbonated, semi-dry. Nice bitterness in the flavor, some lightly bready malts in the back, and pine cones and grapefruit up front. Lasting finish with some orange zest, grapefruit and bitterness. A bit sweeter than I prefer, but sure a nice one. 150618

355ml bottle. Barely clear amber colour with small to average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Cautious, piney, hoppy aroma, biscuit malty background, even more cautious citrusy hints of lemon and sweaty resin. Taste is slightly sweet biscuity malty, a touch of caramel and peanut, dry, piney hoppy overtones; long lasting finish, smooth, soft, silky, mouth-filling palate. Very nice composition, but sadly a bit anaemic concerning the aromatic profile.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a slightly hazy orange with a somewhat pervasive red here and there. One finger white foamy head dissipated within about a minute.
The smell was slightly earthy sweet with a slight pine to citrus back up here and there.
The taste was mainly sweet but allowed a decent bitterness to balance.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but was fairly subdued.
Overall, I say this was a good American Pale ale worthy of having again.
