Whole Foods, Bowery 12oz ($3): Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pale malt, citrus hops, and some other plant life. Taste is slightly sweet, with a relatively low level of bitterness. Body is surprisingly satisfying and full, but easy to down. Some lemony tastes are there. Pretty nice session beer.

Bottle - Hay, grass, orange, hop and just a bit nutty. Cloudy and particulate ridden pale orange. Hay and grass, light bitterness throughout, and a great mouth feel. Hops and orange as well, a wonderfully complex beer.

So so pale ale - had on tap at tasting room in Portland. Tried from a flight, was easy to drink but lacked any distinctness.
