This is a nice hoppy pale. Great balance and feel. Definitely a mouthwatering version for anytime of the year.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a cloudy,beige/orange color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of malts, citrus. Taste is citrus, grapefruit stands out, malts, very light bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a smooth and easy drinking beer.

Poured from can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy orange amber color with a one finger head of thin white foam. The head fades relatively quickly leaving just a trace of wispy lace on the sides of the glass
Smell – The aroma is rather bready and fruity with the fruit being a mix of orange and tangerine. Along with these aromas comes some light yeast smells as well as a good showing of a grapefruit and pine hop smell.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather dry cracker/bready taste mixed with a little hint of caramel. Right from the start there is a decent showing of a grapefruit hop taste with this getting stronger as the taste advances. A pine works its way onto the tongue toward the middle to the end of the taste ramping up the overall hop taste rather well. With the yeastiness that was detected in the nose coming at the end of the taste, one is left with a rather drier and fairly nicely hopped flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is rather thin and light for a pale of 5.5 % abv with a carbonation level that is a bit on the higher side. For the drier tastes of the malt and the hop blend of grapefruit and pine the feel of the brew is quite nice overall.
Overall – A nice drier pale ale with a good hop hit. A good brew overall.

Murky brown / amber with one finger of light tan head. Fair amount of lace. Smell funky lightly sweet malt with little hop aroma. Taste is yeast funk light sweet bready malts with some bitter hop taste for balance.
Mouthfeel is light carbonation medium body and a lightly bitter dry finish.
Overall an easy drinking and just above average for the style.
Edit 10/03/2015: From a 12 ounce can. Had to raise the look rating due to massive light tan head and copious amount of lace. Much better carbonation than previous review.

Aroma of citrus/oranges at the pop of the flip top (can). Pours amber with thin head and sticky lacing. Taste is hops, malt, citrus, dry palate, lingering finish. Highly drinkable and enjoyable.
