Pours a crystal clear golden color and sports a sudsy white head that lingers. Beautiful APA. Nice citrus notes on the nose, especially oranges , limes, and grapefruit.
The taste is also very citrusy, with the aforementioned notes and they’re accentuated by a very dry mouthfeel. Very nice APA.

Sampled in a taster glass from draft at Sketchbook Brewing Company on July 26, 2019. American pale ale with a light, crisp body. Dry hopped with Citra for its citrusy and fruity flavor and aroma profile. This beer includes five different malts to bring nuance and flavor at a low ABV.

1 PINT can
Served in a tulip glass
This beer pours a golden color with a slight haze. It is topped with a couple inches of off white head that leaves some decent lacing.
The smell is a little dank with light citrus and cracker aromas.
The taste is a bit dank and herbal at first. Then I get light citrus with mild pine in the finish.
Light bodied and effervescent mouthfeel
This is a nice pale ale. Five years ago it would have been spectacular. Now there are just too many breweries pumping out good beer. I really enjoyed my time at the taproom and am not mad at all for buying this beer. It was light and hit the spot.

16oz can, no apparent freshness date
Hazy golden colored body with a foamy white head. Zesty & tropical Citra aroma. Bitter hops overwhelm the palate with notes of passion fruit, orange zest & pith, earthy pine; malt is a bit nutty and very light caramel/grain. Lighter body, moderate carbonation, finishing bitter and dry with that earthy pine lingering. Overall, pretty average stuff here. Glad to try it, but I'd pass on it in the future.
