On draft at Evo. Really good pale ale. Rich dark golden hue, nice foamy head, crispy and effervescent mouthfeel, fruity citrus nose, and hop forward on the palate. One of my favorite from Evo.

Big ole head on this beauty; fluffy white, long lasting, very good lacing. Laid back resinous, spicy aroma. Biscuit-like taste soon veers off toward the hops; more herbal and spice and less citrus and fruit. Crisp, dry aftertaste. Short lived finish.

On tap in a Shaker Pint glass. A nice look with a clear golden hue and a medium white head. Nice foam retention and lacing. A muted aroma with hints of citrus and pine. The taste followed. Not much malt presence - mainly cracker - allowing room for the hops. The hop presence was there but also somewhat muted, with orange and some piney notes. Overall it came across as anemic. Nothing bad, but just average.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a small white head. Smells of citrus and piney hops, with some sweet grain. Tastes of watery citrus hops with sweet grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, slightly overcarbonated. Overall, a slightly above average beer.
