On tap at the brewery.
Copper amber color with a 1F white head that holds a film and leaves wide rings of lacing.
Earthy and pine hop aroma, mostly. There's faint citrus on the nose.
Malty. More pale and caramel malt than hop flavor.
Medium body born of solid malt backbone. Malt forward with a dry hop finish.
Refreshing with body and drinkability. A sturdy effort at a 4.8% abv.

On tap:
Pours a tea-like color, almost like a light brown ale. Soapy head lasts a while and provides a few lace stripes.
Nose is tea and earthy hops, nothing too powerful or too distinct, but it makes for a decent aroma anyway.
Taste is a bit grainy up front, though the beer leans bitter from the start. A bitter wort that leans a bit tea-like in the opening quickly loses that note as the bitterness grows. My initial sips had this as a balanced beer, but by mid-glass it was leaning a little hoppy. Earthy and fresh grass-like bitterness win the day.
Bitter and a tad thin. I'd wish for a little more body and balance; though it's not IPA bitter - it could add a little malt sweetness.

On tap at the brewery. Dark golden straw color with a slight haze. Generous white head with good retention. Not much in the nose, but great taste bursting with classic Cascade and Centennial flavor. Gentle bitterness and a clean finish. Malt background was present and balanced. A great PA.
