on tap-pours a thin white head and cloudy straw color. Aroma is clove/banana, wheat. Taste is clove/banana, wheat, continental (saaz?) sharp hops. OK effervescence.

Draft at Arbor Brewing. Golden amber with medium white head that diminished quickly. Medium citrus aroma. Light body. Medium flavor with small citus finish. Refreshing and drinkable.

Sample at the brewpub. Hazy blonde, no real head...honey-sweet, grassy nose...buttery/biscuity sweet initial flavor, bit of apple, dry earthy hoppiness late. Fairly solid.

The body was medium yellow. The aroma was oranges with a hint of tea. The body was smooth and light. The taste was light apple with some caramel. This is a good version of a style I woudl like to see more often.

Very sessionable at 3.5% and still aroma and taste, but skip it for the pils. Aroma was both hoppy and malty. Orangey with a little white head, with lace. Bitterness and a bit of fruit, metallic finish. A light mouthfeel and prickly active carbonation. Perhaps the weakest in their lineup

This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of unnoted finely sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained no carbonation, was transparent and yellow orange in color. Its aroma contained notes of sweaty sock . Its mouth feel is initially tingly with a lingering tingly palate and a aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild Pilsner like malt hop flavor that missed the hops of a typical pale ale notes. Definitely not a traditional Pale Ale.

Draft at the Arbor Brewing Company Pub & Eatery. Poured a small white head, uncarbonated, transparent, no lacing, and a yellow hue. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Lightly bitter and hoppy flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. Light bodied.

Cloudy amber pour with a ring of white lace. Solid aroma of citrusy hops and caramel. Good and well-balanced flavor of citrusy hops and caramel. The body is full with an oily texture and soft carbonation. This feels more like an APA than a mild but what the heck, it’s good.
