Pours gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Pine and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with earthy caramel and pine upfront turning to pith in the lasting finish.

16 oz. draft at Archie Moore’s. A near clear gold with fizzy carbonation level. Aroma and flavor are the same. Mild herbal notes with citrus that is almost like grapefruit. Bitterness is moderate but becomes astringent as it warms. Not sure how fast kegs kick at this restaurant but… not knowing the age of the keg, or cleanliness of the tap lines, average.

Taster pour at New Haven Craft Beer Race. Appearance is light yellowish-brown (like ginger ale), with light sparkle and head, some lacing. Aroma is citrusy, pine, grapefruit. Taste is bitter pine, grapefruit, balanced with cracker malt. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation, finish as taste and dry. Overall, lots of flavorful hops for a pale ale while still having a noticeable malt presence. Good.

Draught at the brewery, 6/4/16.
Gentle, but thoroughly hazy golden body has a strong peach-apricot hue and a big white head that is well-retained.
Huge nectarine-orange aromatics are juicy and there’s a touch of grapefruit pith to keep it balanced. Very minor honey with a touch of biscuit from the malts easily balance the hop character, and it feels incredibly fresh, lush and with a floral-spice character not often found with this hop. Tangerine juice-like finish with modest acidity and no alcohol or flaw.
Pillowy malts belie the low gravity and tickle the palate as the hop-infused liquid goes down. Moderate bitterness balances and there’s a wonderfully gentle peach-nectarine character with stronger tangerine/orange juice components. One of the "softest" textures I’ve seen in a beer, which isn’t always easy for such a low gravity beer. No resin and perfectly balanced and juicy. Like a NE IPA-lite. Very memorable.
