12oz can. Maintains some classic malt sensibilities while still delivering the hop goods. Juicy and mellow, fresh apricot and other mild tropical goodness. Really sessionable, but not thin or one-d. Quite enjoyable.

Draft at Two Brothers Craftsman restaurant. This is Two Brothers’ entry in the current trend for "juicy" pale ales. My draft glass hit the right notes in presentation, light orange body under a foamy head. The smell, refreshed regularly as the foam broke up, brought out a bit pine hops, but with a match from light citrusy notes. The taste has bitterness of course, but also the "juicy hop" they were shooting for gave it s bit of lemon note, with a bit of other citrus juices. My first thought was a favorable comparison to a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
