A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with resinous floral hops, lots of grains, OK. In mouth, caramel malt with cereals, harsh hops, light mineral notes, so-so. On tap at brewery.

Soft clear copper and no foam. Awkward ginger and armpit aroma that isn't very intense. Flavour is big sharp pale ale stuff and well balances between malt and hop. Dry finish, good oiliness. Not much to look at but it does taste good.

Draft pour at Faculty. A bright golden orange pour here. Safe beer to order here. I feel like Citra pales are generally solid. Harsh, dank hop nose to this. From a distance. Not the best invitation. Flavor redeems. A juicy grapefruit and other citrus all throughout. Flavorful, an d had a refreshing side. Late linger is overly bitter, and returns to a harsh bitter note. There is good and bad to this pale.

Draft - Fruity with a touch of vegetal hops. Clearish gold with a nice beige head. Light earthy hops, touch of bitterness and a decent finish.

Draught at the brewery
Dull golden color, hazy. The malt base is grainy, husky, earthy, not seducing; the hop can hardly be associated to a C-hop, it’s a bit resiny, light citrus peel, with vegetable bitterness in the final, chicory.
Mediocre Pale Ale.

Draught at the brewery
Golden color, clean. Some aroma of malt and straws, light puke. The malt base is light, a bit bready and papery, mediocre; mediocrethe mouthfeel is off-dry but not weak;the hopping is strong enough, a bit citrusy, but not as bright as you would expect from Citra. In the final, some orange peel, and some hop resins.
Not exciting, but clean.

On tap at Faculty, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry crisp crackery malt and astringent floral hops. Flavour follows accordingly, with crisp crackery malt and character-less hops that leave an astringent punch. Ambition-less, forgettable beer, but competent.

Golden, bright, thin head. Looks appetizing. Earthy aroma, dried leaves, slightly orangey and just a hint of that citra litterbox. Earthy, bit cheesy on the palate. Light, clean pale malts are a bit biscuity. The citra definitely could stand to be brighter, but otherwise a balanced, easy-drinking pale that would score several points higher with fresher hops.
