On tap @ Bent Elbow many times - recently from a growler filled at the brewery - pours a clear orange-gold with a tight 2 finger frothy white cap which reduces to a surface lace ....light floral aroma over pungent grains - flavor is sharp and balanced between chewy malts and piney resinous hops - finishes clean with the bittering becoming dominant--bitter finish.... one word: "serviceable"......this is a good APA with no out of the ordinary traits , just straight up ’OK’ sessioner

The beer pours a hazed orange-gold colour with a short-lived snow white rocky head. The aroma is citrus, pine, soices, yeast, and plenty of grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is tropical fruit, citrus, grains and a spicy finish.

Pours a bright and clear golden. Minimal head and lacing. The smell is really tame. Malts and grains with a slight hint of hops. Honestly, it smells like a macro beer. The taste is much like the smell, with not a lot of hops presence, lots of grains and malt though. There is medium carbonation, a medium feel.

To call this middle of the road would be a stretch. It's a little less than that. I like to support craft in my province, but these guys need to pick it up to get my interest.

Pronounced aromas of cereal, citrus, and caramel. Palate is smooth with moderate carbonation and flavours of citrus fruit and rind on a mid-length and subtle bitter finish.

Fair apa. I get very little aroma. Body med. hops have a Vegetal bitterness that is slightly offputting. Finishes moderate dry with dissipating lingering bitterness. Not something I would go looking for. Based on the other reviews it may be inconsistent. The hop complexity described by others just was not in my sample (at the brewery 8-29-16)

A-Gooden yellow with a white head that dissipated. Good lacing
S-Aroma is malt forward with an earthy, herbal hop at the front
M-Mouthfeel is light and there is a good dry crisp balance
T-I get an earthy vegetal bitterness upfront with a subtle sweetness
O-Perhaps it was the moment but I very much appreciated this beer.
