Very slightly unfiltered, so a mild haze, golden colour with a big frothy lightly off-white head, good retention and small foamy lacing spots. Decent hoppy aromas of light grass and cereal malts in the background. The mouthfeel has a nice dryish finish. Some grassiness lingers with hints of mint and spiciness. Not a bad, easy-drinking APA that is a notch above average.

Tall can from LCBO. Pours a huge foamy off-white head and has a fairly clear golden orangey coloured appearance. Thick dirty lacing. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of citrus and pine hops, some mild yeast. Flavours of mild tropical fruits, citrus and pine, light grapefruit notes. Medium bodied and drying mouthfeel. Not too bad.

Forgot and thus the beer was served in a frosted glass, even the foam froze. Light amber, small foam. Light hoppy aroma, all killed by the cold. Nice bitter taste. (New Orleans 201505)

Pours a golden color with a nice frothy white head that dissolves quickly. The aroma is light, with a little sweet and little malty mixed together, some citrus is also present. The taste is very smooth, with a light, grassiness to it, caramel, & citrus. The mouthfeel is crisp, smooth, good and light bodied.

Night out with Alexandria Brew Crewers and focused on dark selections, but I finished the evening with this. Orange amber with a dense head. Aroma is mild, caramel with vague citrus peel, maybe lemon. It also has a mild pale ale flavor, citrus balanced with sweetness, clean and not even in the vicinity of extreme. Good feel, except that I was expecting something hoppier and therefore stickier. Lots of dense lace down the glass.

Aroma is pretty light and so is the mouth feel and the taste. Maybe just a bit on the tiny bit sour side. Has some chalk after taste but not bad. Don't think I'll make a effort to try again.

A crystalline bright orange amber in color. A big fluffy textured, white head rises above. There's some hang time on the head. And lumps of fluff cling to the sides of the glass for a short time as the head settles. The light is far too subtle for the style. A woodsy, floral tasting. Light bodied. Okay, just not a stand out pale ale.

Very little happening in the nose. Light copper body with a white, moderate head that leaves a bit of lace. Mouth is medium bodied and a touch under-carbonated for my tastes. Malts are a bit on the sweet side, some carmel, hops are citrus and pine, not much spice. Finish is a bit sticky and sweet. Overall a fairly mild APA but well brewed and very sessionable, and available in the only smoking bar at the Atlanta airport (concourse A).(airport pricing) re-rate on draft this time hitting the spot on a hot and muggy evening not sure what was going on before when I reviewed it from the airport in Atlanta but damn this is really tasty salad hop character a little hint of wheat body is just fine leaving decent lace completely drinkable just be a spot on

It has a nice aroma, and color but it is not as hoppy and bitter as some pale ales, which to me is a good thing. Not so bitter that you can't drink a few but is a little "dry" to the palate.
