Sample at the taproom. Hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lace. Aroma of grassy hops, citrus and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, grassy hop and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

This is a decent American extra Pale Ale with fresh hops but nothing that really stands out above the crowd.

Can from CraftShack. Pours gold with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is juicy fruits with some tangerine. Med body or nearly. Flavor isn't as juicy as the aroma suggested, but it sorta/kinda is. Some definite roasty malt. APA thing checked! Rest is a mix of pale stone fruit, citrus and tangerine. Dryish, and my tongue says slightly astringent. Reasonably hoppy; reasonably bitter. Not sure where the Mosaic went, but my nose isn't the best!

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is very citrus forward. Reminds me of a fresh cut orange. Flavor is more citrus like orange and tangerine. A bit think around the edges but this has almost no bitterness. As a pale ale this is pretty good. Plenty of hop flavor but again this is just a tad thin and the flavor washes away quickly.
