Light amber color. Frothy white head. Lively citrus notes with confused mandarins. Light body, very dry, fairly simple pale ale but enjoyable.

Tea, pencil shavings, honey, orange, and grapefruit aroma. Clear amber with a few floaties, medium sticky head. Lilly and grapefruit, rosehip accents. Light body, moderate carbonation. Hop forward APA, with very little maltiness except in the aroma.

Bottle, 9C. Pale amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of peach and kumquats, bread, a little pine. Quite juicy citrus up front with peach and bread behind. Firm bitterness with citrus overtones. Everything’s contributing here.

Bottle at home in CT - picked up in NYC. Pours mostly clear, yellow-gold with a thick, frothy white head. The nose has some dusty pine needles, citrus peel, dry pale malts, peach. Light sweet flavor with mellow bitter hay, pine needles, lemon rind, some dry pale bread, biscuits. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. A bit dusty on the finish with further citrus rind, biscuity pale malts, sawdust, faint grass, nectarine, citrus pith. So so. Might not be in top condition.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse, opened 5/13/14.. Pours a hazy orange color with a large foamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big citrus hops and pale malt. The taste is citrus hops, pale malts, a bit of a tropical vibe. Medium bodied, strong lingering bitterness, simple, well balanced.

Bright citrus and a malted wheat background in moderate support. Beautiful hazy orange with a moderate white head that lingers and leaves slight webbing. Taste is orange and slight lemon, with white bread-like grain. Moderate high bitterness for style and a quick finish with some latent juiciness.
