16oz can. Hazy golden-tan color body, creamy white head. Some citrus up front, but also quite yeasty and smooth, creating a nice balance. Creamy, some oily undertones. A decent enough APA,

Pours a slightly cloudy golden-yellow, with small head. Aroma of citrus and sweet bread. Flavor is very fruity, with bitter hops and sweet malt backbone. This is another winner from Big Wood--I’ve liked everything I’ve tried of theirs so far.

Very good pale ale. Pours a golden-copper with mid-sized head. Flavor and aroma are dominated by hops, but there’s a nice underlying sweetness that helps to balance it. This is one I’d definitely drink again.

Pours an orange-gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma of hops. Flavor is a combination of citrus and pine hops. Pretty crisp, clean mouthfeel. Bitter finish. This isn’t too bad.

On tap at SPSBF. Pours a hazy amber gold with a light brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has kind of an earthy grassy note with a hint of pine and a bread backing. Flavor has a sweet grain note with a light pine and grassy hoppiness but overall thin.
