5 oz sample draft at the New Albanian Pizzeria and Public House in New Albany, Indiana. The pour is mostly clear golden orange with a white head with great lacing. The aroma is a nice floral resin hop balanced nicely with base malt. The taste has the same balance of hop and malt, with the hop showing resinous floral and a light sweetness from the malt. The palate is medium to light bodied, with soft carbonation and a dry lightly bitter finish. Nice Pale Ale.

Tap. Orange malt and pine/orange peel hops aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Sweet orange malt and moderately strong orange peel hops/light pine hops flavor. Very nicely blended. Excellent - given NA’s usual great selection, this would be an easy one to overlook, but that would be a mistake.
