12oz bottle. Dulled orange-tan body, frothy off-white head. Piny NW hops, some mild grapefruit. Classic clean golden malt backdrop. touches of deeper malts like Munich perhaps? Pretty straight up classic US Pale Ale more or less. OK.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy bright golden color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, pineapple, floral, grass, light pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, floral, grass, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon/orange zest, pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and some slightly cloying bitterness after the finish; but not too bad. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp and sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with no warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice pale ale style. All around good complexity and balance of bright citrus/pine hops and moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
