Had on tap. The best beer I had at hardware by far. The taste actually was pretty nice, with grapefruit, orange and lemon flavors pairing nicely with the malt backbone. The smell was more malty than anything, but not bad. The feel was watery though

On tap at the brewery's gastropub
A - deep amber body with a foamy beige head
S - malty caramel and bread crust with fruity and citric hops
T - dominant piney hops with grapefruit & orange zest; caramel malt and bread crust provide a malt backbone. Subtle fruitiness and yeast round out its flavors along with some very faint black tea-like flavors as it warms
M - medium body, ample carbonation, finishes dry and bitter with pine lingering on the palate
O - surprisingly good pale ale. The Cascade hops and flavors of this beer remind me of a classic: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. This was good and very enjoyable.

3.49/5  rDev -4.4%

Light golden orange color with bright clarity, thin layer of frothy foam, spotty lace.
Mild aroma with some honey malt notes, vague citrus. Not very assertive.
Taste is light and pleasant, vaguely hoppy with a honey aftertaste. A little sweet for an APA.
Body is thin and a little watery. Could use a bit more carb and more hops.
