Have had this "new" beer from the new Susquehanna Brewing several times at local taverns -- always on tap in a pint glass.
Pours to a a head slightly less than an inch. Medium lacing that lasts long enough to indicate desired freshness.
Although this is classified as an APA, the color is not pale -- it is more that of an amber lager.
The hops are not upfront in the foretaste so your first impression is of a rich ale commensurate with the fine blend of malts (see their web site). But the hops quickly assert their presence while not overshadowing the malts and not imparting excessive bitterness and not lingering too long in the aftertaste.
This beer is a pleasure for good times.

5/3....copper color, very light foam. Buttery nose, honey very light. Malty taste, sweet, and sharp. Thick mouthfeel, heavier consistency. Some cloying at the end. Slight hop bite at the close. Good.

F- fruity esters with caramel malts with earthy hops to round it out.
M- light bodied and malty with the fruity esters hanging there.
O- not a bad beer but I would slightly above average.

12 oz. bottle poured into a craft tumbler
A- Dark gold in color, with really good clarity. The head is light tan. Retention is okay, and there is no lacing.
S- Malt forward, like it should be. Caramel notes, and very faint fruit esters (barely there.)
T- The taste, like smell, is malt forward as well. The caramel notes come though with a subtle sweetness, but the fruit esters are lacking. There is some detectable hop character that is faintly earthy.
M- Medium body, with a bittersweet finish. The hop is noticeable. Fairly well balanced, but I think the malt could be just a bit heavier to tip the scale slightly. Moderate carbonation.
O- Okay. I'd like this to have a little more body, a little less hop bitterness, and some more fruit character. It's sweet-ish, but I think it could be stronger.
