Got a growler of this at Olivers in Albany on 2/19/16. Consumed about 40 minutes later. From Olivers' website:

"A bright and citrusy New England-style pale ale hopped with Citra, Centennial & Amarillo."

A: Poured into a stemmed angled tulip-type glass. Body is hazy but bright golden-orange. Small whitish head on top. Some lace on the glass.

S: I definitely smell the Citra - orangey citrus, grapefruit peel and juicy hops in general. A bit of earthy or herbal hops in the background as well. Good nose for an IPA; great nose for an APA.

T: Pretty much follows the nose, with citrus taking the lead - primarily grapefruit and oranges, but with a touch of apricot noted as well. Some alcohol felt in the belly (that may be due to my empty stomach), and good citrusy hop burps with a touch of alcohol there too.

M: A little bit flat - though that may have something to do with the growler pour rather than the beer itself - and so a little slick/oily in feel. Call it medium in heft.

O: I'm pretty sure this is my first beer from this brewery, and I'm impressed. Reminds me of a Session IPA that I can't quite put my finger on. Highly drinkable and flavorful. "Softer" than many APAs, but that's not a negative comment at all. Good stuff.
