On tap at Stag's Head in Manhattan.
A: Solid yellow orange. Not much head or lacing.
S: Lightly funky stone fruit aroma, like guava. Sugary malt in the background that I kind of dislike. Beautiful hop aroma, enriches each sip.
T: Straightforward, more or less one note tropical fruit hops. Juicy. Sweetish finish.
M: Light side of medium bodied. Dry enough despite the sweetness. Lowish carbonation, which is fine.
O: Good pale ale. If you like this hop character, you will probably love this beer. For me, the malt isn't doing the right thing, but the hop flavor is bright and good.

@ Ridgewood (I think)
Foggy orange with a slim, densely creamy head. Soft, fragrant citrusy aromas with apricot and melon backed by a warm sugar cookie dough maltiness. A soft, juicy orange, melon, peach smoothie-like flavor with a light grassy-oily hop finish. More warm biscuity malts creep in. Fluffy crisp feel with some bitterness. A nice, well-rounded take on the juicy APA.

On tap, pours a slightly hazy gold. Smell is tropical fruit, citrus, floral. Taste follows. Light-ish feel, low carbonation. Low bitterness. Good, flavorful pale.

Pours a yellow color. Fruity malts, breadys and grains, light citrus and tropical fruity hops. Light body and low to moderate carbonation, very easy to drink.
Overall a very nice APA; easy drinking and not super hoppy. Worth checking out for sure.
