An elegantly balanced ale which infuses English malts with American hops. Sweet malty tones of biscuit are balanced by a piny dryness that ushers in a plethora of floral and aromatic hop notes such as tropical fruit, spice, berry and citrus.

Pours pale gold. Smells juicy and tropical. Starts out that way but fades quickly to a bland bitter finish. Bottom drops right out of this one. Not impressed with this brewery so far.

"17339" canning date/edition.
Looks very hazy, translucent gold. Topped by a creamy white head with medium-plus retention, and sheets of lacing
Smells like lemon, lime, pineapple, peach, pine, cat pee, honeydew melon.
Tastes like lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, honeydew melon, and green grape. Great balance with fruits and earth/pine/dankness. Smooth doughy malt. Cat pee and dankness on the back end, finishing lightly dry and quite bitter with notes of pine and citrus peel.
Feels medium-bodied, moderately carbonated, smooth, finishes lightly dry.
A really great hoppy pale ale that balances fruity and dank aspects equally.

Can is marked "17339" . (12/6/17?)
Hazy orange-gold , with moderate persistent white head and lacing.
Smells of pine, grapefruit, pineapple, and tangerine.
Taste is all hops : Pine, tangerine, sweet pineapple, and finishing with light, dry, grapefruit pith. Description says "balanced", and there is somewhat of an overall impression of that , but I don't taste it specifically. This was slushy when I opened it , so may have to reevaluate as it warms. (If it lasts that long. :) )
Feel is slightly creamy, with moderate, very fine carbonation. Overall very smooth.
Overall , nothing earth-shattering, but pretty good.

On tap at Swillburger/The Playhouse in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a light clear orange, with a small head, and a good amount of lacing.
The aroma (and taste) really remind me strongly of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale- it's a got a nice piney hoppy aroma, with bready malt.
This is a really solid pale, that seems be kind of a cross between English and American style, with piney and slightly citrusy, but also a strong bready malt backbone.
This is light bodied, and pretty crisp, with a good level of carbonation.
This isn't anything super flashy, but it's still quite nice.
