On tap at The Tap and Mallet in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a light amber color, with a small white head, and a little bit of lacing.

Smells like orangey and piney hops, maybe a little bit of herbal mint, and crackery malt.

S.M.A.S.H. beers are usually pretty simple, and this is a good example of that. The malt character is simple, crackery and doesn't overwhelm. There are apparently only 11 IBUs in this one, but it still feels pretty hoppy anyway, with a nice pleasant and slightly herbal bitterness, and some very light fruity/orangey hoppiness.

This is light bodied, and pretty crisp, with a good level of carbonation.

This SMASH series has been pretty fun. Both beers I've had have been really nice.
