This pale ale is very confused. It looks like a wheat beer (very cloudy), and tastes like a wheat beer, with a slight lemon flavor. It thinks it is a first cousin to Blue Moon.
If you want an American Pale Ale brewed to style, keep away, far away.

Another pale ale from a brewery that churns them out. Not enough electricity in the color for me but the nose is a pleasant melange of medicinal and herbal hops along with sweet malt.
This is agreeable enough but not really bringing the flavor and should be seen as a hazy session ale, which may eventually need its own category. Still a nice brew to have around when the AC isn't working in the summer, like right now for me.

Hazy yellow with a brownish tinge, ample white head, pretty good retention, not much in the way of lace.
Lots of mango, apricot, peach, some meyer lemon in the nose
Mainly just a mango hop flavor, some raw graininess in the background
Pretty decent mouthfeel. Medium-light bodied, just enough carbonation to keep it clean feeling
Not really my thing, but if you're into the whole "Hazy" thing and want an easy drinker, I could see this being up your alley.

Nice Hazy beer that looks and kinda feels like an IPA, but drinks like a pale. Expensive at the bar I’m at.

No can date
Can spurts out of the top after popping, purrs a gigantic fizzy over carbonated head, that fades quickly, very hazy cloudy opaque pale yellow color
Nose light citrus, lemony, lemongrass, floral herbal, grapefruit pith, almost no malt, maybe apricot too
Taste no real malt, fair hops, light bitterness at first, plenty of citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit pith, some stone fruit, unripe apricot, lemongrass, doughy wheat or oat into bread dough, vanilla cake, dry finish, medium to a bit lighter bitterness
Mouth is med to lighter bod, a bit thin, higher to medium carb
Overall meh, it's ok but nothing special

On tap at Blue Coast, Rehoboth, DE
Pours a hazy yellow color, with a hint of lime green, and a nice sized frothy head. The head displays good retention with splashy lacing throughout.
The nose is sweet and fruity with notes of citrus and some tropical fruit. Aroma notes of orange, tangerine, mango and pineapple. Into the drink I begin to pick up some cracker malt aromas.
The taste has a sharp and tangy hops zest over a very neutral and dry cracker malt base. Flavors of grapefruit rind, dry pineapple, orange pith, and a lime zest. Sharp hops spice also provides peppery notes, pine and some resiny bitterness.
Medium to light bodied and very crisp. The carbonation has a lively sting to it. The finish is dry, peppery, resiny and with a lingering bitterness.
A refreshing and sessionable pale ale that is balanced towards the hoppy side.
