Draft: Poured a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is hoppy, candy, fruity. Taste is hops forward with fruitiness.

Cheap can, less than 3$. Pours like a dirty pale pond water, frothy head pale ale. Light grapefruit nose. Lots of initial carbonation biting the tongue. I like that in a crisp IPA. Tho a solid IPA, the sizzling carbo-co2 makes a brightly hopped IPA even better. Such a refreshing palate directly out of the can, yum. Yes there is some bitterness but I can overlook the usually thick IPA hops impression with some foaming action across tongue and down the hole. Its like its washing away the hand soap hop flavor down into the tummy, leaving a clean fresh palate. It seems this is flavored; maybe that can account for likability of this pale ale. The added flavors are nice hiding and well balanced not to be in yer face. I usually use IPAs as a tick, but this session was not rude. There, you have it.

Pineapple, orange, biscuit malt, earthy pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet pineapple, orange, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter pine and grapefruit peel flavor. Good body.

$2.47 from Appalachian. Bacardi glass @home. Hazy, pale orange, stiff soapy lace. Veggie sweet, kind of melon-y, white grape, faint rind nose. Taste is powdery sweet, orange, soft herbal, mellow veg, seltzer feels. Not feeling this. More just incredibly diluted & boring.
