On tap at Danny Boy Draft Works Notre Dame. Pours clear gold with a small off-white head. Aroma is somewhat candied orange, green grasses. Flavor is tart orange rind, black tea, green grass, green leaf, sugar. Why sugar?

16 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, pear, light pine, lightly toasted bread, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, pear, light pine, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, pear, light pine, lightly toasted biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light dryness from lingering bitterness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a very nice American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and pretty crisp/refreshing to drink with the lighter body. Nicely juicy/vibrant on hops with balancing malts; without feeling too sweet or heavy. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft. Orange malt and peppery orange peel aroma. Pale yellow with moderate head. Sweet orange malt and lightly bitter herbal grass flavor. Good - on the sweet side.
