This beer has the same malt makeup of our most popular beer the Ardent Concession IPA, however the hopping is different, the (FMA) stands for Falconers Flight, Mosaic, and Amarillo. So flavors will be tropical, citrus, orange. It has an apparent bitterness but a neutral one that allows the awesome hops highlighted shine through.

The first time I've tried anything from this company. Pours a hazy blonde hue into my glass. Citrusy, flowery notes in the nose. Decent mix of pine bitterness and citrus upfront. Good bitter finish.

Bottle is smudged, but I'm gathering that it reads "June 19, 2017." That's a born on date.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy burnt yellow to orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head that dipped down a bit and left some lace just above the head and ended up sticking to the glass as the beer was consumed.
The aroma shapes some tobacco leafy to earthy hop character to meld with some light pine, ruddy citrus pulp and a delicate sweet biscuit malt base, but pretty light.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side initially and eventually captivated the bitterness from those tobacco leafy, citrusy and earthy hops. Malts are substantial yet balancing/non-distracting. Semi-drying tobacco/earthy to piney and citrusy embracing sort of aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt well done, non-distracting. ABV felt appropriate. Finish was drying with the tobacco leaf and pine.
Overall, I'd say it was a pretty good job and one that I would come back to.
