First I have to say I love the online beer tracker. I wish more Brewers had such a feature. Unfortunately it showed me that my bomber was brewed 8 months ago! So I guess my review should be inflated to account for lack of freshness.
A - clear pale amber body with dense off-white foam. Very good retention and sudsy lacing.
S - citrus hops, sweet malt
T - slight bitter hop, citrus, and slightly piney. Toasted malt, earthy, and doughy.
M - medium/light body with moderate carbonation.
O - this was ok but the age really killed the flavor. Flavors were weak and dropped off fast. I'm sure this is much tastier when fresh and of course on tap.

Cool feature to track the bottles
http://kelsenbrewing.com/Beertracker/. Bottled 9/30/2014
Had both on draft in taproom and in bottle. On tap was clearly better. Maybe fresher. The bottle was about four months old and might have lost some of the hops.
Look: nice head clear and a little dark golden color for the style.
Smell: more malt then hops, on tap it was a little brighter and hop nose.
Taste: on tap the hops were more prevalent, in bottle not as much hops
Mouthfeel: thank god for the solid mouthfeel in a nano. Might have a little too much proteins.
Overall: oh on tap it was really a session ipa, in bottle it was too malty. But a great beer for a nano brewery. Drink a few you won't be disappointed.

Stopped by the brewery to pick up one each of their 22's. Right off the highway too.
Appearance: A one finger head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is a pale orange with great clarity and vision of bubbles coming up through the glass. Frothy lacing down the glass as the beer was drank too.
Smell: Citrus, tangerine, clementine, grapefruit, some resiny pine, biscuity, and pale malts.
Taste: The hop flavors are more noticeable in the taste. Mild tingly bitterness and cracker notes and sweetness from the malts too.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, refreshing, light bodied, chewy, smooth, light bitterness, and medium carbonation.
Overall: Nice hoppiness to this pale ale. Biscuity and pale malts make thus a nicely balanced and enjoyable APA.
