Pours clear Golden with a thick white head. Aroma of light grass. Taste is light and floral, sprinkle of hops throughout. Dry malt palate, subtle hints of Pilsen. Very drinkable.

Super clear golden and light blonde coloured body without any haze or glow, but a super thin, ultra-fast dying pure white head. Aroma of light herbal and very grassy hops without any malt or yeast, but a nice apple and pear scent and a dose of lemon and citrus noticeable along with some higher alpha acid, just small amounts of hops. Light-bodied; Strong citrus and lemon flavours with a touch of light malts and very little else aside from some grains and a dose of herbal and very perfumey hop notes throughout. Aftertaste shows some grass, light funk, a dose of citrus and flowers and ending with a very dry, but herbal funk that is more reminiscent of a saison than anything else. Overall, a pretty mild beer that would show well in the deep south in the middle of Summer, but not too well pretty much anywhere else, as it doesn't have enough flavours or complexities to get much of anything going for it. A nice enough flavour, just not enough of it, but nice to try though from Connecticut! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 10-March-2018 for US$1,00 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 20-April-2018.

12 oz. can purchased at Julio's Liquors. Golden color with a very thin lasting head. Aroma is cracker malts, mild floral hops. The flavor has the cracker malty hint, subtle yeast, very tame floral notes. Ends clean without much of anything. Maybe citrus if I stretch this out. Lighter body and does have a refreshing Quality about it. Pretty straight forward overall.

Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Alon. Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of citric hops, a bit floral. Flavor has light bready sweetness, and bitterish citric hops. Light-bodied. Decent, refreshing.

Can. A hazy, golden beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is quite citrusy and peachy, with a soft malty fruity touch. There’s some bitterness in the flavor, with peaches, some piney and citrus peel-ish notes and a touch of pale malts. It’s medium bodied, soft and semi-dry on the palate. Semi-long citrusy, bitter finish with a touch of peaches. Quite nice this one, and very refreshing. 150613

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, peach and orange. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long peach and orange finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 4/18/15
Aroma: This has a clean aroma of light floral hops, as well as some mild citrus.
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a thick frothy white head and some average lace.
Flavor: It has a pretty decent flavor, clean and light, but still pretty decent.
Palate: It has a fairly light body, with a soft carbonation, and a lightly dry finish.
Overall Impression: The brewery calls this a Blonde Ale, not an APA (and I would tend to agree). I'm not sure why it is an APA on here. Anyway, this is a decent enough beer. A good entry craft offering for those new too craft, but not a particularly exciting beer.
