Walk up to the bar and what do you ask for? A Beer, naturally. It doesn't always matter what it is, or what you want in this case. You want something light? We've got A Beer for you. You want something hop forward? We've got A Beer for you.
You just want to camp out on that bar stool and crush something? We've got A Beer for you. We're only marginally apologetic that it's not kettle soured with Mosaic & Amarillo hops. This is better. This is a straight forward, refreshing extra pale ale utilizing the newest varieties of German aroma hops (Hallertau Blanc & Mandarina Bavaria). Call it a session IPA if you need, call it a pale ale if you prefer, hell, it doesn't matter what you call it, what matters is that you stop talking about it and throw A Beer down yer gullet.

Keg at BrewDog CJ. It pours cloudy gold with a massive white head. The aroma is sweet esters, melon, white grape, white bread, muffin and some creaminess. The taste is crisp, very bitter upfront, white bread, straw, cracker, grass, pepper and citrus peel with a bone dry finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Packs a fair punch for the abv. Decent.

Bottle: Hazy amber with a small, off-white head. Caramel, crumb-cake like scent. Caramel malt, light baking spice taste. Would be a great deal better if it weren’t so weak and watery..... Aroma is definitely the high point....not bad, but they missed it.

Can, undated, drunk 6/17/16.
Clear, waxen/number 2 pencil yellow body is topped by a good-sized white head showing modest retention.
Dusty citra-like notes add lemon and sweat, with light dank notes, a touch of juicy lime and a hint of pine rounding out the nose. Crackers and biscuits are very sparse and there is no alcohol or flaw.
Dry, quite so, with a bit of dextrine for body and a touch of honey-vanilla sweetness. Lemons, lime, grapefruit pith and some spicy dank notes are simplistic but clean and competent. Carbonation is a bit fizzy/forced. Lots of dry crackery malt sort of scratches at the palate.

Sample at the OTR Beerfest during Cincinnati Beer Week. Slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily to a film. Stringy lacing. Fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of citrus, herbal hops and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can. Pineapple, orange, caramel malt, pine, and orange peel aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Lightly sweet citrus, milky caramel malt, and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Body a bit light. Pretty good easy drinking beer.
