Aromatic pale ale dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka hops. Our most tropical and citrus-forward pale ale.

Can (3/11/26) from the brewery. Hazy, light brown-dark yellow, nice sparkle, thin head with fair retention, light lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine, cracker. Taste is strong pine, citrus and cracker. Frothy, silky texture, soft carbonation, dry, crisp, mostly piney finish with light bitterness. Well constructed APA with traditional flavors. Taste is much stronger than aroma and good for ABV.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom. Aroma of melon, orange and cereal grain. Flavor shows the weakest amount of mango and melon. With kumquat and a lime hint. Pretty good mixture of flavor with bitterness in the finish to balance the fruit. Bitterness increases as it warms. It’s good.

Reviewed from notes.
On tap at the brewery.
Poured into a becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: citrusy, tropical fruity, subtle clean grassy and light floral and some light scents of orange; clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine crisp bitter to bittersweet blend; finishes citrusy and floral hoppy
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue, very low bitterness detected
Overall: a very nicely done APA worthy of returning to.

Pit stop before heading to the Poconos. Really crisp and clean. A tad of tropical flavor. Wonderful.

Can from the brewery. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a decent bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh and tropical, orange peel, kumquat, tangerine, orange squash, banana, um bungo, grassy, herbal, orange blossom and marmalade. The taste is crisp, firm dryness, bitter - sweet, grassy, straw, green, herbal, tangerine, orange peel, kumquat, orange blossom, peppery spice, waxy peel, fresh and clean. Finish is dry and zingy. Light to medium body and moderate, massaging carbonation. Understated and quenching. Fun stuff.

16oz can pours a hazy yellow with some white head. Pineapple nose, orange, melon. Flavor follows, tropicals are still there but grist and some herbaceous notes arrive. Finishes off dry. 7 3 7 3 13
