On-tap at the source itself, on to the beer:

Despite its fresh hop presence, not much of a head is formed on top of this one. The color is a paler orange, and a few dots of lace spot themselves on the glass. The nose consisting of good grapefruit and lemon aromas demonstrates the goodness of the fresh hops. Toasted and caramely malt make the Yang to the Yin of this beer.

Mild mannered, yet quenching and a joy. Sweet grapefruit and toasted malts are simple, but rewarding, The bitterness level is low yet still reasonably hoppy. Paired with a light body with gentle carbonation, this is a fresh hop pale ale that is easy to drink and won't kill your palate.

a fresh hop pale ale. pours a light orange color, perfectly clear, with a one inch white head. the nose is delicious. lots of oily fresh hops, citrusy and pungent. english malt backing, but nothing heavy. the flavor is pretty well balanced out, with the hops taking on a vegetable sort of vibe rather than a resiny one. the finish is quick and only mildly bitter. great carbonation and a soft malt body. this is a sure session beer. lots and lots of fresh hop flavor, lower abv and great mouthfeel. it goes down easy and is one of the better bull and bush brews ive had recently. i liked this one a lot.

Pours a clear, gold color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of wet hop, sweet malt, and strong citrus hops. Fits the style of an American Pale Ale. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of earthy malt, citrus hops, hint of sweet malt, and a hint of pale malt. Overall, great appearance, good feel and aroma.
