Keg at the brewpub, Nashville, 15/02/15. Clear golden with a decent off white covering that retains well, good lacing ensues. Nose is juicy citrics, melon, tangerine, hoppy notes. Taste comprises floral hop notes, pine, melon, tangerine, citric pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough APA with a floral hop resonance.

Bottle shared at RBWG 2014 Late Night tasting - Asheville. Decent offering. Some creamy citrus fruits, basic pale malts, pine needles, mild dough. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with more light citrus notes. Tasty if a bit basic.
