12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Okay aromas with good balance of citrus hops and dark/bread malt notes; with very poor strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a good pale ale. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Other than the basically non-existent aromas; the flavors were really good and well balanced for the style. A nicely enjoyable offering.

tap at the brewpub last summer - Pours light copper/amber with a lingering head. There’s a mild aroma of caramel malt and hops. The flavor is mildly bitter with a light body and subdued malt. It’s bubbly and again, okay, but not impressive. To the prior reviewer, this is definitely not a sour beer. Your bottle was infected.

On tap at Schmohz. Hazy orange body, thin to medium off-white head. Piney, citrusy hops aroma backed by bready malt. Body as expected, hop-dominated but backed by sufficient malt depth to carry the citrus and pine. Bitter finish. Quaffable.
