Nice, clean pale with a slightly hazy appearance. Fruity hops with a tiny bit of sweetness from the malt. This should kick Great Outdoors out of the rotation immediately. It's a completely new hop profile for the bros and I definitely dig it.

 

A very solid pale ale with the flavor of the grapefruit flavored hops as its a true out of balance citrus bomb of a pale ale. Only negatives are it's overcarbonated from the bottle (like their Elementary Porter) and could use a little more body/malt to it to balance it out. Its a tad thin and metallic tasting, that makes this lean more towards a session IPA vs pale ale. Still a very taste beer with the citra and Amarillo hops working well in this one.

 

 

Poured a hazy pale golden color. While billowing head that did not dissipate quickly, seemed to thicken instead of fading and had strong lacing. Grapefruit jumps out in the aroma. There is some bread in behind the grapefruit. The taste does not come across as strong as the aroma but is very good. It does not just go with grapefruit in the flavor, still citrus and bread. Very flavorful for a pale ale but not very bitter. Excellent balance, just enough bitter that the sweetness does not overwhelm but stands out. Juicy and full up front with a dry finish and just a touch of cloying sweetness. Clean and smooth. Overall an excellent beer that surprised me, not normally a fan of pale ale but enjoyed this one tremendously.

 

 

On Draft poured into a 16oz nonic pint

Bright gold with orange hues; unfiltered; hazy , cloudy, nearly opaque. Nice head retention withslight amount of lacing.

Fresh tropical fruit and melon show through in the aroma. Fairly vibrant floral elements as well. Light breadiness from malts.

Body is smooth and light. Packs in a lot of flavor for an American Pale Ale. Taste is very similar to the nose, lots of fruity, floral hoppiness, citrus involved thanks to the use of citra and amarillo hops. Not much malt presence, only for balance.

Overall, very smooth, flavorful, sessionable borderline IPA that is very hop forward compared to many of its east coast counterparts. Brothers nails it.
