Can from Trader Joe's in Folsom, CA. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma isn't much. Notes of pale stone fruits and a bit of breadiness. Not med body. Flavor is sort of thinnish fruit with a little spice and not much malt. Pretty dry. Lightly/moderately bitter. Tho there's not much to it, it does have a much more pleasing taste than the regular IPA from Farm Island.

Can from Trader Joe's in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Light fruity aroma. Not quite med body. Flavor is "cooked" malt with some pale stone fruit. Think someone skipped on ingredients. It is quite bitter, but not very pleasant. It seems Farm Island is brewed by Peak, so likely this is the cheap brand.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Pours a trasparent pale golden with a bit of haziness on second pour. Big fluffy white head, quite dense. Good persistence and lacing. Moderately intense aroma has a quite easily detectable white bread/hay base, slight honey, soft citric notes in the likes of citrus jam, floral notes. As mentioned, not too intense, but nice and clean. Taste follows the aroma closely, with medium sweetness and low to medium bitterness, with a semi-dry and only slightly bitter floral hops aftertaste. Light bodied with low to medium carbonation, probably a bit lower than usual per style, resulting in a very easy and smooth, quick mouthfeel. Overall this is a "mild", delicate interpretation of an american pale ale, and a clean, perfectly balanced one at that. Good.

Some citrus and mismatched malt. Flaw isn't major and still makes for easy drinking beer. Pours clear golden with ok head and lacing. Bitter finish. Tap at Circa in D.C.

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Weird very grassy aroma and flavor, rancid raw flour, grainy and sour. Nope.

Can dated best by 3/26/19 drunk 8/21/18. Do they use a 7 month shelf life? A: Very hazy medium gold orange with 1/2" of thick foam retaining and lacing well. S: Crisp citrus and tropical hop aroma. T: Bitter hops of grapefruit, orange and pith joined by an earthy, leafy aspect that's a bit jarring, giving an English toasty character to an otherwise standard SIPA. M: Light bodied with smoothly carbonated mouthfeel and slightly sticky finish. O: Not bad at all but the "Autumn" aspect doesn't do it any favors IMO.
