Thanks to JLindros for sharing this crowler.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice crystal clear deep golden hue with a fat almost two finger white head that fgades slowly to leave thick lacing and a desne creamy head.

S - Big aromas of bright, floral citrus notes. Very perfume forward with a light amount of biscuit notes. Good almost stone fruit like apricot notes. Deep intakes though produce a dank Mosaic hop aroma complete with vegative onion notes.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with very bright citrus notes and orange peel. Almost tea like stone fruit apricot notes. Great juicy, pithy citrus before leading way to an almost sweet jammy apricot flavour. The finish is more dank bitterness and flashes of Mosaic like flavours.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, crisp, clean.

O - Overall this was a very solid pale ale. The citrus and stone fruit elements are just lovely...the only knock here is that unneeded dank vegative element. Without that these numbers would be much higher.

Serving Type: Crowler

Crowler filled about a week ago, shared with rudzud

Pours a huge frothy foamy head with great retention, a bit rocky, thick soapy lacing, mostly clear med orange color

Nose is quite nice, tons of hops, perfumey citrus and mild dank hops, big orange and tangerine, plenty of stone fruit apricot like as well, a little tropical notes, candied apricot, but there is a hint of vegetive dank oniony mosaic like hop notes, little tropical

Taste is similar to the nose, more tropical fruits and citrus, big apricot, tangerine notes, little citrus rind, light doughy grainy malt, not quite orange but fair citrus and stone fruit, little melon even, but in the background is the mild dank musty oniony mosaic as well,

Mouth is med bod, foamy creamy carb, frothy, crisp for an ale

Overall pretty solid APA aside from the mosaic-like dank oniony notes, if not for that this would likely be 4.5 across the board, the rest of the hops and malts are quite nice
