Location: Draft at Ginger Man, 5/18/13
Aroma: The aroma of this one has some citrus fruit hops, grainy malts, and a bit of spice
Appearance: The pour is a hazed golden-orange color with a small white head on it
Flavor: The taste is a little sweet, grainy/bready, with a light-medium hop bitterness as well
Palate: The body is fairly light, it is easy to drink, with a smooth, and clean finish
Overall Impression: I thought this one was a pretty solid APA, but not a standout. The flavors are solid, but maybe a tad light. Overall, it still works nicely as a light, drinkable summer beer.

Tap at the Stagshead. Pours hazy gold with white head and citrus nose. Tastes of grapefruit, earth, herbs, grains, leaves, and light toast. Plenty bitter and refreshing. Great summertime pale ale if I had an outdoor space I’d be grilling while sipping on this for sure
