From pint can to glass, a soft orange color with a mountain of creamy beige head. Cool retro graphics to boot. Tons of sticky lacing and an everlasting head. Nose is light and mild, citrus and bready malts. Not much to it, but it is soft and inviting. Flavors of citrus, pine, caramel, and bread. Simple and smooth. Sessionable all day long.

Draft at Burger Joint in the Ogilve Transportation Center, Chicago. A "mere" pale ale smell, not big on hops at first. A cloudy gold color, and the usual thin, sudsy IPA head. But once in my mouth, the large hop note grabs on and doesn’t let go. Big chunk of citrus and resin. I had not read the description before trying, so I thought it was just an overload of the usual Three C’s. Settles into a coating of pine tar on the palate, then some orange peel. Jealous that this train terminal now clearly has better beer than Union Station. All we can muster is The Snuggery.

Can at a tasting. From notes. Herbal and grassy with a bunch of tropical citrus. Loads of different hop flavors, but nothing really stands out. Good, but no real "wow" factor here.

Can - thanks RobertDale. Pours slightly hazy yellow gold with a large white creamy head and nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine and a touch of caramel. Flavor is the same with some zesty notes. Just a bit of sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body, bubbly

Can, big thanks to Wigman DW, split on split on the 300kph tasting on Train 9116 to Brussels, 26/04/13. Hazed pale amber with a mahoosive off white head. Nose carries hop notes, grass, orange pith, citrus, light sugars. Taste comprises hops, orange pith, citrus zest, light soap, touch of sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light hop bitterness in the finish. An OK APA.
