16 oz can. Pours a clear gold color with a large white head and very good retention. Very good lacing. Hops nose. Clean mouthfeel. Light caramel malt start with a light hop bitterness finish. Very clean. Medium body. It's fun reading the reviews of the haters trying to hate this. Put this beer in a craft can and they would love it. Haha.

Not too bad! Bright golden, full foamy head. Nose light on cascade hops, mild citrus. Flavor a nice balanced pale ale, a bready malt, hints at toffee. Semi-dry finish, thins a little right at the last. Light citrus hop flavors, very light bitterness at finish.

Single 16 oz can at Binny's. Did not have much hope for it when I first opened and poured. Smell was kind of the same skunkiness I get with any macro lager, to be frank. But it poured an ever so slightly darker amber color than a lawnmower beer. The first sip, snuck out from under a frothy head, just seems to be more of the same lawnmower beer. A very light malt note. But the hops, while lightly bittered, do start to show themselves. This is no major hop wallop like an SNPA, but I have to admit it is lightly hoppy. Call it an introduction to hops. Still not enough to impress, just enough to top the light malts.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear orange hue with a small white head. A light grainy biscuit nose. Sweet, light citrus, toast. Very clean. This is pretty good honestly.

16 ounce can. Bright brassy gold color. Large pillowy white head. Zillions of large bubbles. Light grainy malt nose. This beer is amazing! Wel, not really. But it's not that bad compared to most Pabst offerings. Tangy malt flavor upfront is crisp and a lightly citrus character from the Cascade and Liberty hops adds balance. Light body and flavor. Easy drinking and a summer keeper.

On Tap at Homestead, Meridian. Clear golden yellow witha lasting soapy white ehad and lacing. Looks like a PBR Standard light cereal malts witha hint of some actual hops. A step in the right direction.

Pounder: Grass and orange peel nose. Clear amber, thick head, good lace. Grainy, hint of grass, a little vegetal. Fusel alcohol on the back end. Light body, easy carbonation. Nice try, but no.

Can. Orange, biscuit malt, light pine, and orange peel aroma. Golden yellow with large off-white head. Moderately sweet orange, creamy biscuit malt, and mildly bitter orange peel/pine flavor. Okay body. Not bad - a decent effort.

Can dated, I believe February 5th. 0836 is part of the second set of numbers.
Pours a crystal clear pale gold with an impressive and long lasting head of foam. Lacing isn't lacking.
The smell is light. Grainy, light grass, nothing more that I can discern.
Taste is more assertive. Grainy but not corny or sweet, bitter in a mostly non descript way; if pressed, I'd say grassy. Not balanced in any way but I find it surprisingly drinkable.
Mouthfeel is good. Good APA overall. Still, I would much rather have Old Tankard at my beck and call.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 2/12/2018. Pours fairly crystal clear golden/amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pear, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, white bread dough, light honey/toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pear, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, white bread dough, light honey/toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Lingering notes of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pear, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very classic tasting APA with Cascade/Liberty hops. Nicely juicy balanced citrus/earthy hop complexity, with a nice bready malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
