Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7
Tap at the brewpub. Pale orange-amber with a thick head. Nose is orange peel, pilsner malt. Full, smooth body, with ok hops and decent malt. Not a bad first lager, but it isn't clear what it's trying to be. Called an American lager but what's that? Not an IPL. Needs a little more lagering time and a clearer conception of the statement it wants to make, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Tap at the brewpub. Deep orange with lace, a bit hazy. Nose is grapefruit, orange, heat. A bit dull. More rich wheat and fruit in the flavor, grapefruit and tropical fruits. Nice.

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy golden orange. Nose of mango, wheat, orange. Ok but doesn't seem super fresh. More zing in the mouth, though, orange, mango, good crispness. Decent enough but maybe needs to be taken a step higher.

Tap at the brewpub. Golde to amber, clear, with a tall head. Big hop nose, zesty citrus, grapefruit, dry. Light and crisp, dry flavor, great hops. Does a good job for 1% abv.. Decent body and malt but the hops carry the day.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5
Tap at the brew pub. Cloudy pastel yellow with lace. Slightly wild nose, orange, lactic acid, funky. More malt driven than juice driven, hops work too. Nicely sour, quite beer-like. Orange plays backup. A bit funky and interesting. Could use a bit more carbonation.

Tap at the brew pub. Orange-amber, almost clear, with a low head. Simcoe-like spicy hops, citrus, bready malt. Solid APA nose. Rich citrus and stone fruit flavors, malty, touch of caramel, bread. Crisp, rich, well done. A solid flagship.
