With accents of fresh orange, this refreshing, light pale ale is clean and smooth. A subtle hint of coriander enhances the crisp finish.

On tap at the Radio City location. Surprisingly good. Pours with a crystal clear, slightly deepish yellow hued body with a lasting, small white head. Aromas are sweet, bready, citrus peel, orange, zesty, maybe some cascade hops?. Lightly grassy and a touch spicy. Flavors are quite zesty, surprisingly pleasant. Grainy and crisp. Bready, biscuity, grassy, wheat/grainy, orange peel, tangerine zest, coriander. Lively bubbles, bright, sessionable, dry, a bit minerally. Pleasant. Actually one of my favorites there.

On tap at Bentley Alumni beer tasting. its light and crisp, and of citrus, floral and herbal. Kinda watery. Not a big fan of light beers but I see why a Midtown brewpub would need to make one.

Draught at Heartland Times Square, New York, NY. Clear golden, no head. Tangerine aroma. Sweet and fruity, lightbodied with rounded mouthfeel. Some dusty butter. Very light and quite refreshing, though the tangerine flavour is a bit overpowering.

Draught at Heartland, Empire State Building, on 23rd July 2009. Pale amber with lasting off-white head giving some lacing. Orange zest in aroma and initial kick then grassy, herby hoppiness on a lively mouthfeel. Dryish finish and slight scent of coriander. I actually enjoyed the beer as a first drink on this session.

(10/22/08) Draught sample at the brewpub at Empire State Building, New York. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of citrus and a bit of malt. Sweetish flavor, a bit sugary, with orange peel candies and spicy hints. Finish is a tiny bit drier. Light to medium body.

A golden orange ale with a thin lacing white head. Aroma of tangerine and light malt, quite nice. In mouth, a light orangey ale, refreshing. A good start to the sampling at this place. Tasted at the Union Square location, Nov. 2006.
