You hold a session beer with a bright bold blend of five hops that flirt obligingly with the smooth malty backside. Don't let this one lay around it is brewed to be enjoyed today. Bold and engaging without pretense, because in Wisconsin you do not have to be extreme to be real.
Just be...

12 oz bottle from a six pack, bought in Superior, WI. Aroma is dough, citrus peel, melon. Pours clear golden with a thick off-white fluffy head with great retention and some lace. Taste is lightly bitter with balancing candy sweetness alongside; a hint of green bud lingering in the finish. A little thinner than I was expecting. Really good.

Can into a snifter showing well filtered honey brown with a half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows sharp and bitter pine hops. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Resinous pine blends harmoniously with the malty pale ale profile throughout. Reminds me of drinking a New Glarus fruit beer without any fruit. Not bad for a pale but not great either.

12 oz. bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light piney hops, some citrus and subdued tropical fruits. Flavour bursts with tropical fruit upfront, followed by some pine and citrus. Dry biscuity malt in back. Tropical fruitiness lingers on the finish. Really well-made. Excellent pale.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 10/22/2015. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Great dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Awesome appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, cracker, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, cracker, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/sticky, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent pale ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

This was on tap at my cousins wedding and with free beer and wine I had like 6 pints. Orange yellow beer. Nose is grapefruit and biscuits. Tastes of biscuits, crackers, grapefruit, resin, and floral hops. Standard palate. Nice straight up pale ale. Contributed to great evening of fun.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden orange color. A one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some light lacing sticking and then sliding down into the beer.
The smell was awesome. Pure light spicy infused sweet citrus blend to bitter pine tones, full and graceful under my nose.
The taste was superb as it had the spice combine awesome with the sweet subtly to lead to a semi-wet citrus/dry piney aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but still good for its style and for me. This one was definitely sessionable and would be exceptional with its respected food.
Overall, I say this was an exceptional APA that I’m so glad to have tried.
