On tap at the Ale Asylum. Poured a clear medium golden with a ring of white head. Nose was very nice.. with bunches of pine and grapefruit zest.. sweet toffee behind it. Dry-hopping was evident in the flavor.. with a hefty dose of dry pine and citrus bitterness.. balance between that bitterness and the sweet core was not very pleasant.. herbal remnants at the finish. Bitter throughout on the palate and it never really felt good. Started out great but dropped off during the drink.

Bottle shared by shigadeyo. Poured a clear golden color with an average white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Good cascade sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a dry slick texture. Moderate bitter flavor with a moderate bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good brew.

Hazy orangish pour with a thin white head that leaves all sorts of lacing. Smells hoppy, citrusy, and floral with some malt. Flavor is pretty bitter for a Pale ale, but pretty good nonetheless. It’s pretty close to an IPA. Great for hop heads.

12oz bottle from Badbeer. Pours hazy amber with a thin, crisp white head. Smells nutty and slight citrusy hoppy with a some cereal malts in the background. Tastes nutty and citrusy hoppy, slight hop bitterness. Good malt presence as well. Medium body, good carbonation.

Aroma is orange, citrus, biscuit, and caramel malt. Some dankness is also present. Head is long-lasting, slighly gauzy and foam rings around the glass. Taste is crisp, slight sweetness, some biscuit, and citrus hops. Nothing is overdone in this beer, but it is well-balanced and quaffable. Finish is medium, in terms of not having a huge, overwhelming bitterness, but enough to know it is there and it is hoppy. Some biscuit dries out the finish, but still finishes with some left over gravity. Solid.

got it at Badger Spirits in Beloit, WI. hazy, copper, excellent lacing, nose is a nice mixture of maltiness and citrus hops, very floral. flavor is initially slightly sweet quickly followed by a nice hoppiness....bit of earthiness to the hops in the finish. not bad at all.
