From the tap this poured a yellow/gold body with a well-sized frothy head that did some artistic lacing. The aroma is light and toasty, sweet with a balance of grapefruit and lemon zest. The flavor is a balanced as the nose with the PNW hop bitterness emerging more in the finish. Sessionable stuff.

@Indiana Beerfest-on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is citrus/earthy hops (sterling?), some medium malt. Taste is citrus/earthy hops (sterling?), slight bitter, secondary medium malt-caramel. Finish is dryish.

Poured a clear amber color with an off white head. Aroma was nice citrus hops mainly, but a bit weak. Flavor is much the same, but pretty watery, like its been said,no bad flavors just weak.

On tap @ Anaheim location...this one is 10 karat in color and has a decent hop bite in the aroma. Flavor is a bit unbalanced; sweeter than most in the style. Not bad.

Not a bad APA. A little weak, but, this beer has to appeal to the masses. Light amber in color, with a fairly good hop aroma as well. Taste is nothing extraordinary, but still better than some APAs and IPAs that I’ve had. Very drinkable and easy on the palate. Perfectly good session APA.

Tap @ Orange location. Crisp with a good hop taste, very pronounced lemon taste almost like the smell of Pledge. sugary almost too sweet. A good pale ale would buy again
