A hazy golden pour with medium white head. The aroma is a mixture of grassy and citrus hops. The taste has a medium body is soft and begins with a sweet orange flavor. The taste grows in bitterness until it reaches a dry finish. This beer goes down fast.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a reddish tint and a white head that lasted for a bit. Aroma is malty for the most part, has a bit of a musty wood note. Flavor is hoppy with a combination of citrus and wet pine notes.

A bonus from a trade I did with StFun. The pour was copper and ever so slightly hazy with a barely off-white head that produced thing rings of lacing. The aroma was some caramel malt, pine hops and pepper. The flavor was spicy, peppery hops steamrolling over an overmatched caramel backbone. Succinct finish and relatively light in body.

on tap-pours an off white head and gold color. Aroma is sweet citrus hops, some medium malt. Taste is sweet citrus hops-some bitter, secondary medium malt. Soft effervescence. Good session PA.

Pours a golden orange with a pretty thin head that disappears quickly. Aroma is light and somewhat sweet...not a lot of hops, and even a dash of sourness mixed in...pretty odd for an APA. Flavor is some burnt malts, and a whole lot of bitterness, without much of a hop profile coming through otherwise...maybe a hint of the Cascade hops, but I’m striving to find much. Palate is a bit watery and underwhelming. Not a very impressive beer, which seems to be all about being bitter...concur with others that this is a bit confusing for the style.

An OK pale ale. In the bottle, this one is dominated by wheat and grass, but on tap, it is much more hoppy and malty. Has a copper finish in both versions, which I didn’t care for too much. I liked the different hop profile in the tap version. A good session local.
