Poured from a 16 oz can into a teku glass.
Pours a hazy yellow-gold color with 2 fingers of frothy white head. The head leaves plenty of splotchy lacing as it settles into a thick blanket of foam.
The aroma brings notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, and orange rind, as well as some grainy malts and spicy pine on the back end.
The flavor follows the nose: Lots of lemon and orange as well as some grapefruit, followed by a wave of cereal malts and an earthy, piney finish.
The feel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very creamy and smooth. Has a modestly dry finish.
Overall, a very good and very flavorful pale ale. It's nicely balanced and drinkable as hell. Would definitely try this one again.

Thanks to Adeline picking up the last 4 pack and offering one up.
Beautiful cloudy bright gold color with a thick 2 finger white head. The aroma is strong with grassy citrus notes, maybe a little earthiness. Taste is hop forward with earthy citrus notes over a pale malt base. Flavor lingers to the finish with a nice light sweetness that balances well. Bitterness is lowish and there is a distinctive seltzer to it.
This is a great offering from a still new brewery, showing tbey are still pushing out quality beer. I only wish thet could bring this one back again. :(

From a 16oz can, undated, purchased at the brewery two days ago. Served in a stubby sort-of-an-IPA kind of a glass.
Pours a moderately hazy, pale orange juicey sort of colour with two fingers of super-soft, lush, lathery head. Retention is pretty good, leaving a thick, sudsy cap and a light, webby curtain of lacing.
A disappointingly faint nose of some vaguely citrusy fruit and damp cereal.
Taste is reminiscent of a breakfast of bran muffins and orange juice. Don't look at me like that; I mean it. A little lemon, tea and toast. Soft and subdued, understated juiciness with moderate bitterness and a grassy bite at the finish.
Feel is soft and slippery, medium-light bodied and well carbonated. I could drink several of these. In fact, I may.
Overall, nothing 'wow' here but a real pleasure to drink in a simple, unassuming sort of way. This is honest brewing; nothing that grabs you and shakes you but a good, clean flavour profile in a clean-drinking, satisfying beer that I probably won't remember in a week but, if I had a fridge full of it, I'd be perfectly content.
