The beer comes in a light golden color.
The aroma hits of sweet grains and crackery malts. Floral hops.
The flavor follows with a bite of citrus peel and floral hops, grapefruit, some grainy sweetness. In general, the beer tastes a bit watered down with a light mouthfeel.

A: The beer is very hazy light yellow in color. It poured with a finger and a half high bright white head that died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles on the surface, a collar around the edge, and some specks of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of floral and grassy hops are present in the nose along with some hints of spicy hops and and hints of citrus—grapefruit seems to stand out in particular.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste has flavors of floral and grassy hops along with some notes of grapefruit and spicy hops, the latter of which is most noticeable towards the finish. Hints of biscuit malts are also perceptible. The hops contribute a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The lighter body nature of this APA makes it very sessionable and also something that is very drinkable on a hot summer day. I liked the mixture of different aromas and flavors imparted by the hops.

Nice and fresh and locally brewed - bursts with big hop aromas - dry grapefruit pith, light, clean, crisp malt grains - suggestive of Carr's water crackers - very bright, with a lean edge and light feel; plenty of soft fuzzy bubbles. I think APA fans and folks looking for a good session ale will really dig on this.

Compared to other pale ales, this one is on the lighter side of the color spectrum, leaning more towards a pilsner or macrolager. It has a nice white head of tightly compacted bubbles with lots of carbonation floating up from the base of the glass. For the smell, I get wheat, light crackery malt, and the faintest bit of hops which contribute a spicy/floral aroma. There is an initial crispness due to the carbonation but the flavor is slacking. More cracker breadiness comes through in the taste, slight grassy hop bitterness with a trace of some citrus characteristics. Easy drinking but very basic and forgettable.
