One of the best pale I've ever had.
Packs a ton of flavor in just 5%, tropical, Slightly bitter finish, good malt balance.
Good creamy body. I was expecting something thinner, was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
an overall great brew, light, but with a character, I'd love to see more of these during summer and less hi abv IPAs

Undated tall boy. Look is creamsicle hazy. I'm not sure of the reason for the white cloudiness, could be yeast? Smell is juicy, fresh pineapple and just a hint citrus. Taste is fresh fruit across the board, with pineapple being present, but not overdone. Very smooth tasting, with a fair amount of carbonation, low bitterness.
A very well put together session PA. My only complaint is.. there seems to be a lingering flavor that is pretty harsh. I have a couple more of these to try, so I'll pick another day and see what happens.
UPDATE 10-12-18: I have to make a correction to my original complaint of a harsh aftertaste. After 2 more visits with Coded Tiles.. I have upped my original review.

Cloudy, dirty gold color. Good starting head which has some longevity but it leaves little lace (some infrequent spots).
Prickly smell from the hop bite. The malt holds up with a creamy toasted nose.
The flavor is different starting with the dry malt and finishing with the white pepper-like hop. Good above average body with a moderate carbonation level. There's a touch of fruit in the finish. Shorter aftertaste than I expected given the bitterness.

Medium straw, hazy due to dry hopping. White head...vanishes quickly. Leaves no lacing. Musky, woody, sweet tropical and grapefruit on nose. Rose like florals, tangerine, mango, jackfruit. Taste is prismatic. Spicy, woody piney...Grassy and oniony; its like a mossy glen. A glen found in the high altitudes of an island country in Oceania. The fruity, tropical melon and pineapple make it bright tasting. Strawberry-guava lemon bundt cake comes to mind; the malt is slightly grainy and tangy. Feel is light, super easy to crush, body carries sweetness well, but it's a bit undercarbonated in that context. A real treat, and great anytime beer.

On tap at Arts and Crafts Beer Parlor, NYC.
Pours a clear golden color with a very modest head. Quickly dissipating, nevertheless a thin wisp of a film remains along with a splash of lacing.
In the aroma, a fragrant balance of citrus and herbs tickle the nose. In addition, notes of tropical fruit develop sitting atop of biscuity malt.
Nicely balanced taste that highlights the grainy, biscuity and nutty malt base, while the hops flavors are bursting with fruity notes of grapefruit, orange, mango and pineapple. Spicy and zesty middle palate that is citrusy, earthy and piny; bitterness is moderate. The finish is dry and with a gentle acidic sting.
Medium bodied, gently carbonated and fairly smooth.
Excellent APA.
