Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to orange color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some sticky speckled lace
Aroma: lemon, peach, papaya and mango hop notes up front - subtle grassy hops in the middle then a light clean malt tone underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a touch of juiciness in there; finishes about the same way with a tangerine in there and semi-dry
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness; good carb level
Overall: mostly good APA I could return to.

Draught at Canary Square, 9/1/21.
Moderately hazy, pale goldenrod with a small, white head showing low retention.
Pretty dense/vague nose shows more doughy/bready malt than hops, honestly. I get that simcoe isn't the most explosively juicy, complex, tropical hop, but this is pretty minimal. Pine and various hard citrus notes with good mineral character from the yeast. No alcohol or flaw.
The vagueness of the nose continues in the flavor where the beer has almost no hop complexity. Some light white grapefruit and pine resin is about the extent I ever get. Soft, but bone dry with rather dull, bready/doughy malts. Just so little of any flavor here. Did not finish.

Can from BD Castlegate. It pours hazy bright orange with a few floaters (even after pouring carefully) and a thick, white head. The aroma is bright, juicy, mango, papaya, peachy, fruit salad sweets, sponge cake, orange drizzle cake and just a hint if greenness. The taste is crisp, dry, touch of bitterness, green, grassy, weed, pithy, zesty, orange citrus, tangerine, peach, papaya, orange chewits, spice and a nip of alcohol. Finish is dry and zingy. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Fruity and drinkable. Nice stuff.

Can on the train back from Bingoham, picked up at BD Bingoham, 68010 on the push 02/08/19. Golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is ripe citric flesh, weed, melon, grass, papaya. Taste comprises pine resin, weed, mango, grass, grapefruit, orange pith, light floral notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with grassy to lightly dankened hop bitterness. Solid skunky pale ... previous raters all have bad cans ?
