Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a deep golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, tropical fruits. Taste is nothing like the aroma. There is some pine, very light orange peels. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall it ain't bad considering the abv.

16oz Yankee pint at the brewery, a short stroll from my hotel in Ponderay.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and ethereal bone-white head, which leaves some streaky northern latitude island lace around the glass as things quickly abate.
It smells of bready, doughy caramel malt, citrus cream, a hard water flintiness, and more leafy, piney, and floral hops. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, the ghost of the caramel that just was, muddled citrus and pome fruit, wet stone, a late arriving breadiness, and weak pine and leafy hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly peppy in its supportive frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight for the style, and generally smooth, the near big-boy malt elbowing the hops in the ribs, reminding then to mind their manners. It finishes off-dry, the shorn malt working hard to get back in the game.
This is indeed billed as a session pale ale, as opposed to an ISA, and it surely fits. The malt is appropriate for that concept, and the varying hop meanderings don't make me think of what might be missing from the IPA that never was. Enjoyable, and yes, quite drinkable, at least in this spacious, yet comfy taproom.
