This is really good for what it is. it's nice and juicy and fruity. I get lots of orange, pineapple, and grapefruit with a nice sharp bitterness on the finish. I'll be buying it again when it's in cans, it'll be a great summer beer.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, khaki-colored head of bubbly foam. It left little to no lacing on the glass. It smelled of toasted caramel, pine and citrus fruits. Sweet caramel and toffee taste with a sharp piney bitterness and citrus kick.

The best thing about this beer is how smooth it is. Almost like a nitro brew. There is a hoppy aroma. That being said it smells a lot more hoppy than it tastes. The flavor is just mildly hoppy. I don't usually enjoy beers with a lot of hops, and based on the smell i was expecting to flat out dislike it, however it was drinkable for me. I wouldn't purchase a six pack of it, but i could drink another. If you like mild hops, pick one up and try it. If you can't stand any hops, stay away.

Pours slightly hazy, light orange with good lacing. Smell is peachy. Taste is nice, ripe tropical fruit and light malt. Body is weak. Overall nice taste in a good session pale ale.

Bottle at home. Enough flavor for sub-5%, but a little dank.

This is a surprising beer for a "Flagship" offering. This beer is overly bitter with strong weedy overtones. There's also an element of straight up grapefruit rind. This is so strong that the malt seems to be missing for both the smell and the taste.

The look was the best part of this beer with a hazy, neutral gold color. Even though the head is small, there are many streaks on the glass.

As one might expect, the finish and aftertaste are one-dimensional with plenty of bittering black pepper flavors.
