Summer Brewsfest. Pours an amber brew. The aroma was very impressive. Sweet, fruity, apricot. Flavor was sweet, bitter, waxy. Nice for a pale ale. Good stuff. Everything I had by them was stellar.

Draft at Brixxx. A solid, no frills APA all the way. Typical copper color with a small but fairly long-lasting white head. Leans more towards hops than malt in both smell and taste. Goes down as smooth as anything you can buy and leaves the mouth wanting more. In my book, this is the definition of a simple, pleasing session beer. I’d buy a lot of 6-packs of this....if they’d bottle it.

Solid APA. True to the style but I thought it leaned more towards an English style than an American due to lower hops than I am accustomed. Poured a dark wood brown and slightly translucent. The bar was dark so I was not able to tell just how much. Nose was earthy malts. Flavor waas heavy on the malts with just some slight spruce hops coming out. A bit overly carbonated but that may be the bar’s fault more than the brewer’s error. Medium to lighter body too. Nice APA that I would get again.

on tap-pours a white head and amber color. Aroma is citrus/pine hops, equal medium malt-sweet. Taste is citrus/pine hops-bitter, equal medium malt-caramel. OK/mild carbonation. Finishes bitter.

Draft at FB. Bronzed over golden body. soft looking off-white head, decent retention. Aromas of caramel, grapefruit, cedar and pine, hints of earth. A very mellow nose. Flavor is lightly to moderately acidic, lightly sweet, mildly to medium bitter. Lemon zest and caramel notes linger into a modest finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, adequately carbonated. Rather uninteresting but easily quaffable.

On draft at tylers in Durham. Pours light yellow with one finger head. light lacing. nice hoppy finish. perfect summer daytime beer
