On tap at 21st Amendment. A clear, amber beer with a small off-white head. Peaches and pine cones dominates the aroma, leaving little room for the malts. Some malt sweetness in the flavor, smoothened out by the bitter hops. A bit boring sort of, lacking depth, but sure drinkable. Medium body, dry and with a peasant level of carbonation. Mostly bitter finish. Decent, but far from exiting. 130805

12oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body, steady thick white head. Bright grapefruit, citrus aroma. The lack of filtration kind of kills the whole session thing..while lowish in ABV, this is still full bodied. Not quite playing the same citra hop dominated game as a lot of other 2013 session pale ales. A pretty solid Pale Ale nonetheless, its cool to see the style be tweaked out and improved upon. Sessionable enough for me, an enjoyable beer.

Purchased at Craft Beer Cellar in Belmont, MA, enjoyed poolside in Bar Harbor, ME. Enjoyed from can, therefore can't adequately rate appearance but it looked pale gold with thin white head. Aroma of caramel malt and hops. Taste goes Soren with a good bitterness and a nice malt backing. Easy drinking brew that I hope to have again for a better rating.

Can: Poured a dark golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus floral hops with light dry caramel malt notes. Taste is dominated by floral hops with clear citrus presence and some semi-sweet malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nice refreshing APA with nice citrus floral notes and limited bitter notes.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. A nice nose of biscuit and oranges. Very much a malt forward brew, some lemons, oranges, zesty, herbal tea. High carbonation. Good. Easygoing.

On tap at Taco Mac. Pours light brown with a thin, bubbly head. The aroma is caramel, coriander and some mild earthy hops. The flavor is nicely balanced and mellow. Light body, and a malty, lightly acidic mouthfeel. Overall, this is a mediocre beer, with no complexity, but still not that easy to drink.

Can from CLG. Deep orange with a thin head. Aroma is fruity hop. Flavour is very crisp light grapefruit bitter. Tangy, fruity and really zesty. Excellent beer
