No date on can

Looks: a practically clear, cara gold color, thin white foam cap settles in quick.

Nose: A bready malted grains aroma first, honey, the Munich and caramalt is easily detected. Sweet fruity hops pop right out from the four hops.

Feel&Flavor: The first sip is all crispy malt and wheat in both flavor and feel. The choice grains, adds up to a very healthy and flavorful malt bill. Nice complexity there. The Mosiac Cascade Citra and Simcoe are arguably the four most iconic hops for APA. It boils down to a subtle, but fun current of a sweet fruity taste. The hops are a very nice effect, but certainly a bit light, as the balance for the style seems to be just about right.

Overall: Malt complexity is high, hop complexity is medium-low, but it's very approachable and enjoyable nonetheless.

 

From the large can, it pours a hazy amber with a modest head that reduces to a thin layer with a ring and leaves lacing. In the nose, it has a touch of citrus. In the mouth, it is slightly tart, lightly pineapple in flavor, with a nice malt base.

 

Pours clear orange with a thin white head. Aroma is light with citrus notes. Taste follows the smell with a refreshing subtle citrus flavor with a lightly sweet malt behind. Feel is crisp and unsticky. Nota bad pale ale at all.
