Orange, mango, biscuit malt, and earthy grapefruit peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with giant white head. Moderately sweet orange, pineapple, mango, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Okay body. Decent - quaffable.

Can from total wine while visiting NC. Wow, in the glass it has a lighter shade of pale haze. Nice foamy head. Oooohh, first taste is a little bitter, like any APA but it then seems to mellow as it soaks in. Perhaps I thot I detected a little bit of that immature brewer sharp bite, but probably not. Its just the hops. Less than 5% alky content makes the bitterness a little easier to take. In the middle it almost becomes a decent session brew. BTW, the nose is slight hop perfume. Finally in the finish it has a slight hoppy creaminess ending about it with a decent amount of co2. For an ale, not bad I guess.
