Hmm, not at all like a traditional pale ale. Has that hop spice that can hit you in the back of the throat. Mild yet enjoyable flavor. Tastes of bright fruit, unripe oranges. Has some real liveliness due to the bright flavor profile, prickly carbonation, and hop spice note. Approachable like the can says but has a zip to it. Medium body.

C / AVERAGE

 

Very hazy golden orange color with a respectable and lasting white head and some decent lacing.
The aroma is mild fresh bread, pineapple and citrus.
The taste is light caramel, fresh bread, pineapple, tangerine with just a hint of coconut and mango, slightly sweet. the finish is dry with citrus zest and a touch of pine, mild bitterness.
The body is medium, good carbonation level, smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very tasty and refreshing brew. A blend of pale ale and hazy IPA, it is well balanced and very enjoyable, should be a great warm weather cooler for any outdoor activities, but good anytime.

Pours a hazy pale straw with a finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with a little lacing. Aroma of citrus and sour pineapple. Taste follows nose.

Really flavorful for a 5.5% abv pale ale. Aroma and flavor benefit from an interesting hop blend and the mouthfeel is nice and smooth. One of the best hazy PAs I've had recently.

Pours orange with an opaque translucency. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is papaya, mango and tangerine. Flavor profile is a little bit more forward, hitting mango, tangerine, orange, and lingering on citrus. Earthy and nutty malt underneath. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a kinda fuzzy texture. Overall, a tropical fruit NE IPA. Pretty typical, and without any huge standout notes, but not a bad, safe choice for the style.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

Appearance: Pours a hazed, dimmed yellow hue with a whitish topping of rather loose, large-sized suds.

Smell: A basic, modest maltiness padded with a rustic oat/wheat quality. Powderized citrus, light apricot, cedar and berry with just a little dribble of coconut cream.

Taste: Lightly grainy maltiness given touches of wheat and oat bread. A tangy, fortifying sweetness turns towards a lemony-tangerine vibe supported by apricot and pineapple and to a lesser degree hints of berries and cedar chips. Minutely bitter. Lightly sweetish, lightly cushioned, fruity finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Softened mouthfeel.

Overall: A refreshing, tangy, light-leaning brew.

A Microbrewed Club offering. Pours a good color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Slight citrus aroma. Taste is sweet orange and grapefruit. Not too much hoppy bitterness. Very easy drinking

From a BOM can into a pint glass. Pour had 1/2" fluffy head of off-white foam with a very hazy pale golden orange body. The scent is a delightful array of tropical and citrus notes with some sweeter notes evident (berry-ish?) -- a great blend of the NE and Hazy styles. Taste follows well with the addition of a sturdy malt backbone that allows the citrus (orange, tangerine) and tropical (pineapple, stone fruit) notes to roll on down the tongue. Feel has a nice amount of heft, on the heavier side of medium bodied with a lingering bitterness from the citrus notes most evident. A very fun, very enjoyable, and very refreshing offering with a great name and can to boot.

Pours a very cloudy hazy golden amber color with a thick foamy head. Head retention is very good as is lacing. Nice juicy citrus aroma with some very mild earthiness. More earthiness in the taste with still a good amount of juicy citrus. Mild bitterness. Well balanced. LIght to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Poured from glass into tulip good 1+ finger cream colored head, good retention and lacing. Bright golden hazy in the glass, no floaties. Nose is coconut, pineapple and underlying citrus, love the sabro hop. Taste follows the nose religiously, big coconut and pineapple on the front, flavors fade thru the middle and it finishes with a good sharp bitterness. Finish is dry with a good prickly carbonation on the tongue. Says retired but picked some up fresh about a month ago. This is a great drinking pale
