Had on tap at the source at Pilot Project.
An interesting interpretation of the APA (shall we say, riff) in that it goes fruity before it goes hoppy. But stays balanced.
Very enjoyable and quenching on a warm summer day on PP's patio. I will have this again...

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance- The beer pours a lightly hazed orange amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head has a decent retention, fading to leave a light level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell- The aroma is strong of a grapefruit and orange citrus smell mixed with notes of a light biscuit and bread malt. Along with these smells comes light notes of grain and a bit of lemon and tropical fruits of mango and papaya.
Taste - The taste starts with a biscuit and cracker malt paired with grapefruit hop and a bit of light orange and tangerine sweetness. As the taste advances, the initial flavors remain strong with some light earth and grain joining in, leaving one with a citrus, but easy natured taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel- The body is medium to light with a moderate carbonation level.
Overall- An easy drinking brew. Well flavored and rather balanced, with a clean nature. Nothing exceptional, but a nice drinker overall.

Crisp, clear gold color, nice white head and lacing. Nose gets a hint of orange and some berries, taste is similar. Crisp when cold, it got "stickier" as it warmed, continuous carbonation. Nice Beer, purchased a single at Beer Bazaar.

Don't see what all the local fuss is about. AT $14.99 a 4-pack, it's non-competitive compared to less expensive tastier offerings. A decent pale ale to go with wings or chips, but not enough taste to enjoy on its own.

Saturated orange, unfiltered haze, ample foam that lasts and leaves a halo of sudsy lacing. Dank hoppy aroma, fruity mango nectar, eucalyptus.
Resiny with some tropical mango and papaya sweetness up front, light bitterness in the drier finish. Lighter side of medium bodied, smooth feel. Overall it’s really drinkable, lots of dank tropical hops, not too sweet. Good stuff.
