Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a transient white head. Aroma of citrus and tropicals - seems passionfruit. Med body. Flavor is citrus/tropical - could be passionfruit. Somewhat roasty malt support. Tasty APA.

Bottled February 28th.

Pours a brilliantly clear pale gold with an inch of foam and good lacing.

Grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas, cracker malt underneath.

Delightful flavours reflecting what I got in the smell.

Light body with medium carbonation.

Body is a bit lighter than I like but overall, a tasty APA.

12 oz bottle from Albertsons. Mild haze with small soapy head. Light citrus aroma, very faint. taste has a bit more character, nice malt bill with a mild hop presence. definitely crushable., but dont. enjoy it instead.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 1/25/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balance mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent American pale ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Very vibrant and dank balanced Galaxy hop complexity; solid malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. Great hop showcase. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
