Tap. This is a really good Pale Ale. Golden color. Decent head. Aroma was a grapefruit like smell that was light and very pleasant. Taste was the spicy citrus/floral taste one would expect from pale ales but this one did not have the overwhelming bitterness that turns me off to so many pale ales.

5oz on tap at Smoky Mountain in Gatlinburg. Poured a clear copper color with a small white head. Aroma was some light floral notes, earthy, spicy hop profile. Body of the beer was malt heavy, with some light hop notes. Okay.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of SpringsLicker. Pours golden with a slight haze and a creamy and lacing white head. A faint citrusy whiff in the nose. Medium body, a sweet fruitiness and a rather subdued hop character - at least when it comes to the aromatic qualities. Some late bitterness though. A rather underwhelming APA! 250313
