Poured a bright golden orange color with a two finger fluffy white head. Citrus, candy and pine aromas waft up from the glass. Citrus rind and piney notes on the tongue, with a clean mouthfeel and tangy carbonation. This is a good pale ale. Enough fruit on the tongue that’s balanced by its hop presence. I liked it. If available in Texas, I would be a buyer.

draught
Medium, slightly cloudy orange color. Spiced, tangerine peel and sweet malt aroma, with a touch of allspice. Medium Mandarin orange peel bite with a very subtle, medium roast malt, underlying the taste. The flavors and bite to the finish, are I.P.A. like.
IBU: 45

Big flavor for a 5.4% APA. Lots of grapefruit, plenty of body, drying finish with medium bitterness. Very tasty for my palate and preferences, will be grabbing this again for sure.

This is a 120z. can dumped into my Indeed pint glass. There is a huge off white head that lasts quite awhile. Thick lacing is left behind, very thick on the glass. The appearance is an orange hazy ale with plenty of carbonation. Looks great!
The aroma is a fine citrus and pine with a slight hint of malt.
The flavor follows the nose, citrus and pine, slightly sweet with a bitter crisp finish.
The feel is dry from the hops yet it has a smoothness about it.
This is what I expect from an Pale Ale, sweet citrus, dry pine, a nice foamy pour, and thirst quenching after a full day of work.

moderate white foam, light golden orange liquid
flowery, citrus aroma (orange and grapefruit) with a hint of grass
bursting citrus flavors, with some noticeable alcohol
moderately bitter, sharp hop flavor on the tongue followed by a clean, dry finish
leaves me wanting more

Appearance: Pours a clear, light and bright medium orange color with a light white head. SRM of 10. (3.75)
Aroma: Strong aromas of orange, grapefruit, bitter citrus flower and pine. (4.00)
Flavor: Strong citrus and flowery flavors of orange, grapefruit, pineapple with a strong pine bitter finish. Pine resin and deep. Dry with a strong pine bitterness. (4.25)
Feel: Medium to light bodied. Good carbonation. Finishes with a bitter finish. (4.00)
Compared w/ SN Pale Ale 4/2/20: Pours a lighter color with less head. Much stronger aromas. much stronger flavors of citrus and pine. Stronger bitterness. Drinks much more like an IPA.
Overall: Definitely a newer west-coast style pale ale. Strong and bitter citrus hops. Agree that it leans toward an IPA in terms of flavor & bitterness. Body is lighter and reminiscent of a pale ale at 5.4%. It's a fantastic and flavorful west-coast APA. A pretty outstanding pale ale. (Final Rating: 4.14)
