Enjoyed on draft at the Nashville airport.

russpowell’s review is really spot-on, so I would point you towards the original as I repeat much of what he stated.

Extra-pale gold, crystal clear, and very effervescent. Fluffy white head of compact bubbles. Heavy layers of soapy lacing down the glass. Gorgeous pale ale.

Wonderful pop of citrus and bright fruit juice on the nose. Very grassy and bready with a little pith and pine. Just outstanding, especially for a 5% beer.

Given that low ABV, no surprise that the taste profile is much milder and less nuanced than the nose. But it’s nicely crisp and fruity, balanced with light malty breadiness, lemongrass, and some bitter pith. Very dry finish. Extremely refreshing and poundable.

Nicely carbonated and silky smooth for a 5% beer. Light and smooth.

Outstanding 5% APA. Maybe doesn’t compete with the likes of a Zombie Dust because of the milder flavor profile. But it’s a winner that I’ll be keeping an eye out for in the summer months.

Light straw yellow with a slight haze. Has the fruityness that's usually found in heavier IPAs but without the punch of an 8% beer. Very little bitterness. Extremely drinkable. This has become my go to session IPA.

On draft at City Foundry STL. Poured a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of caramel, orange, grapefruit and piney notes. Nice citrusy taste with toasted caramel and piney notes.

Pours an effervescent bronze with 2+ fingers of ivory colored head. Sheets of lacing & great retention, stays effervescent to the end

S: Breadyness, grassiness, a little cattiness once warm

T: Sweet breadyness, honey malt, a little grassiness & a little lemon, plus dryness up front. A little melon mixes with flinty dryness & breadyness, this is an interesting beer & some mango as this warms. Finishes sweet, fruity ( pears, grapes & apples ) with crispness & a little citrus & caramel

MF: Medium body, crisp carbonation, nice balance

Very drinkable, been a while since I enjoyed an EPA this much, love the flavors going on here. Highly recommended
