A Pale Ale you can depend on — a bona fide fridge staple. Bright neon flavors of grapefruit and pine give way to a pleasantly soft malt base and a quick slice of balancing bitterness. Reliably tasty without a fuss.

16oz can. A good APA. How about that. Sort or a rarity these days. Makes you want to go see a good band or 4 for 6 bucks and drink at a bar until 2am. Great balance, almost an IPL/Kolsch type feel. Great balance. Good stuff.

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2024. Almost clear golden body, off-white head. Resin in the lean, clean, piney aroma. Resin and lemony notes in the lean, dry, clean taste. Well balanced, drinkable stuff, nice!

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is fresh cut grapefruit. Flavor is more grapefruit hops with a decent pop of bitterness on the back end. This is a clean and straight forward old school American pale ale.

Sampled from the tap at Forward Craft & Coffee. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light pine, some rind and a grass note coming through. Flavor has grass and slightly earthy pine with a bit of grain underlying.
