L (4.25) - Kinda that hazy orange color you'd expect of an IPA. But it works for this one.
S (4.25) - Smells citrusy, and a little general "hop" to it.
T (4.5) - Tastes immediately very citrusy. I'm not a huge fan of citra hops always, but they did a good job here. About the right amount of hop punch for an APA.
F (4.5) - Easy drinking pale ale. Fairly smooth finish though.
O (4.5) - I really like this one overall. It's not a big bad*** IPA, but a well done pale. I think a very good example of one, maybe pushing the boundary a bit. A worth competitor to Sue.

L: Bright orange and cloudy, good head retention.
S: Hops jump out of the glass. Mango, orange juice.
T: Mango, orange juice, tiny bit of cracker-y malt.
F: Light, medium carb, finishes clean.
O: Juicy and extremely drinkable. I actually would put this slightly above recent batches of PseudoSue, and Zombie Dust.

Draft at El Bait Shop. Murky orange with spotty lace.
Smells flat out amazing. Bursting with citrusy dank hops and sandalwood.
Feels watery and tastes like butterscotch unfortunately.
Pretty unbalanced, not really something i'd have more of.
If the taste matched the amazing aroma, it would be gold.
Hope to try this again at the brewery, it could have been a dirty line.

Really good pale ale. Super juicy and honestly outside of pseudo sue, this is my favorite pale ale. This is my first 515 beer and it just makes me excited to what this brewery can do.
