Wish I got to this one sooner. Gifted from a friend after a road trip, canned on date 4 months earlier.
Pours hazy, thick and creamy. Even at its advanced age there’s still a prominent pineapple note on the nose, with a lot of pineapple juice on the sip. Enjoyable.

This is underrated, when fresh it's better than most APAs made in Chicagoland, i.e., Alpha King, Brickstone, etc.

Pours a nice murky golden color. There's a decent amount of carbonation that translates into a 3 finger white head. The head looks pretty fluffy. There's a bit of lacing on the glass as the head recedes, from the decent head retention.
The nose is has a nice hop aroma. It isn't too strong, and I can't pull out individual aromas.
Taste - Decent hop flavor. I do get some pine. I also get some mango, and lemon as well. I also get a hint of a wild floral funk to this beer.
Nice body here. Better than expected for the ABV.
Decent, and delicious beer. Very easy drinking.

16oz draft pour in a pint glass shows a cloudy, pale, straw yellow body and floats a persistent skim cap of bubbles and leaving stepped lacing.
Fruity aromas jump from the glass including lemon, orange, grapefruit, mango, and apricot.
Flavors match with a balancing cracker malt bill.
Mouthfeel is a solid medium with active carbonation.
Overall a refreshing taste experience.

I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a hazy orangish with fizzy white head that is leaving some lace. This can was slightly overprimed. The scent had dank fruit peel spice presence. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright citrus presence and overprime highlights. I would like to try this beer again off the tapper....probably much better. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with big carbonation and fizziness. Overall it is a decent beer.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly died down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass and a small patch of bubbles on the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of lychee, mango and passion fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the lychee flavors are stronger and there are additional notes of stone fruit. Only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and surprisingly smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This Pale Ale has lots of aromas and flavors of tropical fruits. It goes down especially easy.
Serving type: can

Pours a hazy gold with a white head that dissipates pretty quickly. The smell is immediately apparent when opening the can with notes of pineapple mango and citrus with hints of carmel malt. The taste follows the nose exactly with a slightly sweeter start and a nice and pleasant bitter finish. It goes down very smoothly. Overall the best APA I've ever had. Seriously go get it my review doesn't do it justice.
