Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a golden color with a finger’s worth of white frothy head. Slyly dissipated and left some stringy lace.
The aroma had some sweet biscuit to bready malt up front with some citrusy hoppiness coming through nicely.
The flavor started with the malts and eventually combined into the hops fairly nice.
Adding a little bit of piney hop bitterness. Nice aftertaste hitting upon the blend of malts to hops to slide into the finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a good carbonation about it. ABV felt as the brewer projected it.
Overall, pretty nice APA that I would have again. Could be a nice grill side beer.

Hazy blond color, small head. There is a hint of rubber in the aroma, but overall it’s flowery and fruity, nice hops. Dry mouthfeel, some corn husks, some hay, light crispy tough; the hops are a bit fruity, not so impressive as desired. But overall it’s a quite good Pale Ale.

Can from RCSS. Cloudy medium orange amber under a slow fading white head that leaves some patchy lace. Nose has lots of citrus, with grapefruit up front with some mango. lime and pineapple and some light floral notes. Underneath is a light honey and toffee. Flavour is not as robust as the nose with the citrus a bit more subdued with a medium- bitterness and a light supporting sweetness. Mouth is a touch short of medium with average carbonation and a moderately long bitter finish. Nice enough but not as tasty as the earlier offerings. 8/4-/7-/3+/15-
