Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with some transparency about it, two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pine, lemon and grapefruity hops up front with a biscuity maltiness in the back
Flavor: all the aromas combine to bring about a nice bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat lemony to piney
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe leaning towards medium just a bit, this beer is sessionable, nice smoothness with low hop bitterness
Overall: pretty good APA worthy of coming back to.

Can at Book & Bar, 8/17/18.
Moderately hazy, copper-to-golden. White head is full, slowly receding to cover.
Plentiful yellow fruits in the nose are bright and lightly juicy at times. Some lemon and grapefruit sit on the end alongside light pine, but it isn't resinous, or only a touch so, at most. Malts show mostly cracker, but do convey a bit of honey. Yeast is very fruity, as well, with just a touch of melon/bubble gum. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's lightly soft in texture, well-attenuated with cracker, light malt sweetness (honey, cookies) and plentiful, fruity hop. Apple, pear, strawberry and melon stems from the yeast, mixing with lemon, nectarine, light pineapple and pine. Engaging carbonation with a bit of resin/excess bitterness building up on the very end, but otherwise quite nice with some lightly juicy interludes. Pretty good nod to West Coast and NE PAs without going overboard on either characteristics.

On tap at Great Rhythm, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops that are stronger than the style is usually. Flavour is also dank, with a bone dry biscuity malt base and dank hops. Clean and well-balanced. Good stuff.

Keg pour into taster cup at NH Brewfest. Appearance is hazy light orange-yellow with finger-width foamy white head, nice sparkle, decent sudsy lacing. Aroma is dominant pine/light spruce, with citrus. Taste is dominant bitter pine. Palate is medium bodied with lively carbonation and bitter-dominant piney finish. Overall, I love pine but the bitterness is the dominant story here and it’s too much for my taste.

Pours a barely hazy deep golden color with a monstrous bone white head that slowly recedes to sticky lace on the sides of the glass. Nice hoppy aroma! Lots of citrus and pine with a hint of bready malt and earth. The flavor is mild caramel and bready malts with a fair amount of earthy pine hop flavor. Medium body with a moderate amount of carbonation and a sweet resinous mouthfeel. Nice easy drinking pale ale, and from NH to boot. I can’t wait to see what they come out with next!
