Bottle from Giant. Mildly hazy golden with foamy head. Aroma is lemony citrus, bready, crackers. Taste is also tangy, and kind of musty. Closer to a pils than an APA Something slightly off kilter

5 week old bottle into a stemless wine glass. A: Pale orange tinted clear gold with small fast falling head and nice lacing. S: Very light scent of bread and orange zest with a touch of pine. T: Crisp toasted bread malts dominate with zesty orange and pith balancing nicely. Light sweetness lingers. M: Crisp carbonation and light to medium mouthfeel with a very clean finish. O: Well done in all aspects even if not exceptional in any. A really nice pale ale worth buying.
