On tap at Fort Orange Brewing in Albany, NY.

This one pours a very lightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like orange, stone fruit, pineapple, and some malt.

This isn't horrible by any means, but it's pretty unremarkable all the same. The hop character is decent, but doesn't feel as bright and hop-forward as I'd want. There's not much malt character, with a firm bitterness on the back end.

This is light bodied, clean, and moderately crisp, with a pretty good drinkability. The best thing to report is the lack of any booziness on this one, as the ABV is definitely creeping up there.

I've had a few better beers from Fort Orange than this one, but I did basically enjoy it in the end.
