Draught. Clear amber with a creamy white head. Excellent, delicate floral hop aroma with a light caramel presense. Rather thin in body and missing flavors to match the aroma. Disappointing.

On draught in 1,5L. Poured clear and amber with very generous crown - retention was good with some lacing. Aroma was very hoppy, with some herbal undertones but primarily citrus notes. Flavour was very crisp and hoppy, with a nice mild bitterness and solid malty backbone. Fresh clean and crisp finish. Fairly thin palate but very refreshing with lively carbonation. A good typical example of what I look for in an APA, and great to match with spicy food.

On tap @ SN Brewery. Nothing too special, but better than most offerings here. Slightly hoppier than both their draught and bottles Pale Ales. Seems like something that would do well in bottles if given the chance as it’s easy drinking and somewhat refreshing.

Draft at bdubs. The appearance wass very nice, a golden amber colr body with a dirty white head. Not a negative the appearance was very nice. Taste was oh so noticable right away filled with citrus and flower. Palate was a little disappointing after tasting the flavor. Overall not bad, just not there for the price bdubs was charging.

Pours golden amber with a small white head. Aroma of citrusy hops. Flavor of citrusy (grapefruit like) hops and a bit of nut like characteristic. Light body and nice hoppy/nutty mouthfeel. Clean and fairly refreshing.
