Just after opening our brewery, working long nights, weekends, and still working our day jobs, my brother Daniel (the brewer) had twins. Cheers to his courage and dedication to making better beer.

Bottle. Golden/light amber body. Frothy white head, slowly diminishing. Big hop aroma of flowers, mango, passion fruit and citrus. Light toasted grain, too. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Taste of tropical fruits. Lingering bitterness. Its delicate flavors hang on long enough to make a point before a dry bitterness takes over. Really nice. More and more, I appreciate extra flavorful beers in the 4-6% ABV range like this one.

Hazy gold - amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is minerally crisp and semi dry. Light thin malt, semi sweet. Orangey hops. Ephemeral skunk and pine. Traces of floralness and tropical fruits. Light semi dry finish. Refined and very drinkable.

Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle poured into an English pint glass. Pours clear golden with big white head. Aroma is zesty pine, medium body, medium/low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is herbal hops, pine hops, zesty, some grapefruit, and slightly dry/bitter finish. Not something I would seek out, better malt balance would help for me.

500 ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden colour with a large, long lasting, frothy white head and good lacing. Strong citrus aroma with notes of peach, mango and a hint of pine. Flavour is sweet with notes of citrus, malt and pine leading to a dry hoppy grapefruit finish. My favorite American Pale Ale.
