look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Poured from 16 oz can into pint glass. Color is hazy orange-amber, off white head, abundant lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine with white bread dough. Mouthfeel is medium with a dry finish. Flavor nicely balanced with bitter hops, tangerine, grapefruit, pine along with lightly roasted malt. Overall: excellent!

Very solid American Pale Ale. We’ll balanced with malt and just the right amount of hops. My closest comparison is Zombie Dust. Overall well done!

pint can poured into a Highland tumbler pint glass. The label and price point got me, not many pale ales around any more, unfortunately. Slightly hazy golden with nice creamy white head that lingers.
Not much on aromas but it is fresh smelling in a light citrus/floral hint way.
Taste is a light bland bitter ale with little to no personality or nuance . Not that great. Disappointment in that it seems hollow and has no character. Nah.

16 oz. can after a post work bike ride and accompanying some jerk chicken and rice.

Light haze, medium golden copper, nice cream head
Citrus pale malt, light floral scents
Some pine, some citrus, pleasant bready note
Hoppy, but not overly bitter, persistent carbonation.
In the context of a hot afternoon, after exercise, with spicy food, this one is right at home, different animal from a DIPA.

Pretty good APA. Pours from a 16 oz can, a dark gold slightly hazy color with a big white foamy head. Head retention is fairly good and there are thick patches of lacing on the sides of the pint glass. Aroma is mild citrusy hops. Taste is a balance between mild citrusy hops and bready malt. Pleasant, nicely balanced but with some bitterness. Mouthfeel is light, crisp with a adecent level of bitterness. Nothing exceptional here, but a nice sessionable beer.
