Rated 9-28-2019. Pours an orangey golden color with a small to medium head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit with a mild bitterness. Very tasty and more toward a flavorful pale ale. It almost tastes lighter than a 6%. 50 IBUs

Draft at Taphouse. Pale golden pour with a light haze, thin wispy white head. Light all around in the aroma and taste. Malty, sweet, miniscule bitterness.

I got a bottle of this beer off the single shelf from my local Giant Eagle store. The beer poured a slightly hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had ripe fruit and peel spice notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with ripe fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

Deep yellow in color with a light haze and slightly viscous appearance. Poured witha sort, creamy white foam with medium low retention. Fresh citrus aromas, orange rind lemon peel, and light pineapple notes. Medium malt aroma. Medium bodied with medium light carbonation and pleasant warmth near the finish. Citrus orange, pineapple and malty flavors followed by medium high, biting bitterness. Piney hop and citrus orange and fruity melon flavors on the back end. Finished semi-dryly with light malty notes and mellow, lingering pine hop bitterness. Well balanced, hop forward flavors and bitterness. Aromas were a bit subdued, but the hop flavors were broad. Tasty and easy drinking nonetheless.
