Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy golden, small head. Aroma of pineapple and orange. Sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Syrup and pineapple jam. Sugared orange. Low bitterness. Way too sweet.

12oz can pours out hazy straw topped with a white head. Nose is nice light citrus hops and some grapefruit. Taste is more of the nice light citrus hops and a little sweetness.

can courtesy of bacchus66. thanks. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a big sudsy white head. The aroma is quite strong and distinct with grapefruit in the forefront and some mango and lemons making a minor note. The taste is grapefruit and pine resins. The palate is on the lighter side but appropriate. Finishes long with lingering pine. Overall: Decent APA, this goes down way too easy,

Got in a BIF from KMitch. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big ruby grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big ruby grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, woody, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of ruby grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is an awesome American pale ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Awesome Mosaic/Crystal showcase. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone for the ABV, with no residual sweetness. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example.

Hop-heavy, juicy pale ale, toasted cracker malt slathered in Mosaic hop weirdness, offering up strawberry and lemon and grapefruit and pine. Herbal notes mix with dank undertones and a floral finish, all while maintaining an underlying pale ale sweetness that threads the needle between session IPA and regular IPA. Nose works, dank and citrus mixing with an earthy base. Palate's a tad undercarbonated but drinkable. Grows more intriguing as it warms. Delicious.

Poured from a 12oz can with a best by date of 9/17/2016. Aroma is fairly hoppy with some light wheat and cracker malt notes. Tropical fruit, citrus, and resin with a bit of a dank character. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, yellow straw color with a medium large, thick, white, pillowy head that slowly recedes to a thin film that lingers thicker on the edges. Moderate lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with some medium light cracker and light wheat notes. Medium bitterness. Some moderate hop notes with moderate citrus notes of orange and grapefruit. Some light mango and pineapple notes. Medium light resin notes with medium dank, oniony notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. Nice malt notes with some good hop character. I like that the hops have a dank note to balance out the fruitiness.

12 oz. can, at the Labor Day party at Joe and Diana’s. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow color, with a small, bubbly, off-white head. The aroma is strong, juicy grapefruit, pine sap, whole grains, and honeysuckle. Sweet and malty for a bit, with a mild, pleasant bitterness through the finish. Medium body, a bit astringent, and crisp. This is a nice, sessionable, citrusy pale ale. Pretty tasty!
