Commercial Description:
A refreshing extra pale ale, Haymaker features a distinct blend of four malts and three varieties of hops that create a slightly complex ale with a light body and a crisp finish. Its alcohol by volume of 5.3% complements the low bitterness - 15 bittering units - and original gravity of 12.8 degrees Plato. Bright golden in color, it can best be described as "sunshine in a glass."

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very faint carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma is light grain malt, light floral hops, and light esters. Has a fruity flavor with some residual malt sweetness. Medium body. Not your typical APA. Still, a decent beer.

This reminded me more of a Blonde Ale than an APA. Aroma is mostly light, sweet, and grainy malt with minimal floral hops. Pours light yellowish. Flavor is cereal grain, malt, with a nice soft citrus finish. Lemon, orange, light citrus fruit. I like the finish. Very crisp and nice to drink.

on tap-pours a white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is grassy/grain-caramel, like a pilsner with extra medium malt. Taste is grassy/spicy-hops, grain/light malt-sweet caramel, crisp. OK effervescence.

Golden color with light floral hoppy aromas with an attractive lacy head. Nice crisp taste and a pleasant aroma. Light bodied a good refreshing beer that would quench your thirst on a hot day.

Disappointed to say the least from the maker of the IPA I like. Almost tastes like flat macro lager beer that’s been left in the trunk over summer. Tastes like corn and grain and does not fit the style.
