On-tap at Dinosaur BBQ, Troy, NY
A: The beer is clear yellow in color and has some hints of amber hues, having a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin white head.
S: Light to moderate aromas of fruity yeast are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of fruity esters - apples and pears stand out in particular - along with hints of pale malts.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is quite fruity for the style. I would have preferred a beer that was more crisper and bitter.
Serving type: on-tap

Had on draft at Dinosaur BBQ in Brooklyn New York.
The beer is a clear golden amber with little to no head.
Aroma is more biscuit malt than anything else.
This beer is listed as a pale ale but the intense malt and lack of hops make it fit more in the amber category for me.

Had this on draft.
Murky rusty brown.
No head or lace.
Pear & apple notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel, bordering on thin.
Clove & pear cider in the taste; hint of red wine. Complex yet sessionable.

Cereal grains and blueberry and melon and floral notes in both nose and flavor, tough to know if from hops or yeast esters. Light bodied feel with medium carbonation. Decent but run of the mill light ale.
