Reviewed from notes.
On tap at Doc Ponds on 11/02/2017
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to floral sweet to orangey hop sweet and some piney hop notes; super light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a refined sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes slightly dry, floral and orangey
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting; good carb level - low-ish and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done New Zealand styled pale ale I would welcome again.

Growler thanks to Mike. Pours a cloudy yellow with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is floral, grass, citrus. Medium body, tropical fruit, very juicy, light bitterness, very nice.

Growler thanks to Youri! Pours cloudy yellow, small creamy white head, good lacing. Aroma of subtle pine, lime, melon, perfume. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Medium like body, super soft mouthfeel. Well crafted, a bit under punched. Muted.

Growler filled on Saturday. 75CL, split 2 ways, 35F in tulipped stemware. Orange whip hazy, off white creamy 2 finger head. Whoa. nice nose! Very fruit forward, mango, pineapple, orange bread. soft carb, gentle with lingering piney finish. It's a creamy sort of flavor. soft, pine middle and finish, up front is orange rind.
