On tap in Anchorage. Clear deep orange with a small, dense white head. Aroma of Pac NW hops, citrus, pine and flowers with a faint malt presence. Flavor is full of hops but with a medium bitterness, malt is there for balance and leaves a nice lightly toasty finish. Medium to light in body with average carbonation and a clean, refreshing mouth feel. Great Pale, lots of hop flavor with a clean bitterness.

Draft at Tap Root Beer and Mead Social: Poured a coppery orange color with off white head. Aroma is strong citrus fruit, piney hops, and light malt. Taste was very lively hops with citrus, piney, strong bold flavor, simple malts allowed for the beer to be balanced. I really enjoyed how this left my mouth eager for another sip.

Tap@Humpys. Clear amber color/ ivory head. Nice cat spray, honey biscuit, floral aromas. Smooth medium body. Subtle floral, pine sap hoppy flavors ride a solid honey biscuit lightly sweet base brew--very good.
