4 oz. draft at the brewery. Aroma shows my light pine, citrus, crushed grain. The texture is slightly grainy with a low bitterness level. Flavor reflects the aroma. Extremely easy to drink and the finish is nearly clean. Tasty!

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance had a soft hazy off yellow color. Just a soft white foamy cap of a head sat atop the beer. Lasted for a good minute before gently dieing off. Messy filmy lace.
The aroma had some sweet to bitter citrus rind and pulp. Seems to open up more towards white grapefruit. Subtle lemon juice and rind follows in nicely.
The flavor grips the bitter citrus rind nicely but still in a balanced soft semi-sweet manner allowing this one to counter possible excessive AIPA qualities that this one almost conveys. Still, the aftertaste takes the bitter citrus rind qualities to slide into a sweet balanced malt. Blended citrus rind to pulp finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about. Carbonation feels somewhat light allowing a bigger bitterness to hit. Stickiness is controlled.
Overall, for the most part, a mainly good APA that I could come back to. Almost AIPA in stature, but worthy of more pours.
