Tap @ Redfish: Poured a hazy amber color with an off-white head. Citrusy and pine aroma with some caramel. The flavor was citrusy and earthy with an earthy bitter finish. Some malt in the middle. Semi-dry with a light to medium body.

Bright golden copper body. Citrus hop nose and flavor. A hoppy pale ale that seems to lack any significant malty creaminess to round it out. Not overly bitter, just hoppy and bland. A below average pale ale.

A good APA, but very light and very basic. No harsh or off flavors, some really piney crisp hoppiness, with a very much in the background malt profile that never really stands up and lets you know it is there.
