Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: yellow to blonde color with some transparency and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, mixed citrusy and a touch of orange and/or lemon rind before some clean bready and/or cracker malts show up
Flavor: fuses the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality then finishes the same way with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of dryness - nothing overdone
Overall: nice enough APA that could warrant more pours and this one might be fairly good with some food by the grill.

Draught at McLaughlin's, Lincolnville, Maine, 7/12/25.
Clear, blonde-golden. Small, white head.
Cracker, white bread and light citrus and bigger pine notes with wood and lemon lingering. Dry cracker, as well.
A bit of toast but no caramel character. Dry and lighter-bodied with grapefruit, pine, orange, lemon, wood but no resin or overdone bitterness. Could use a bit more body and rounder, deeper hop character.
