Hazy Copper pour with big eggy hear. Loads of lacing. Nose is grassy hops and fruity yeast. Light body. Clean bitter finish. Quite nice. More of a saison than an xpa but lovely

Pours a golden yellow with a white head. This beer says its an American Pale Ale but in my opinion it's more of a Saison. Yeast, barnyard notes, grass, citrus. Very nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Aroma is very nice, and interesting: Citrus, dough, and wood. Incredibly smooth yet full. Delicious flavor and aftertaste: Citrus, flour, and grain

Poured from a great looking 12 ounce bottle. Spicy, fruity, citrus rind, pith of rind, bready, tannic, grassy. This is an interesting beer, there seems to be a bitter bite that makes this a bit hard to drink.

12oz bottle and a Belgian Pale which I was not expecting this one adds to the effect a nice simple flavor profile with hints of bubblegum and tangy hops sweet wood and a nice beer

Dark plum orange, minimal head. Earthy nose with some pine cones. Taste is earthy, rustic and not too bitter. Great balance but perhaps too much oak.

Draft @ Starbelly, San Francisco, CA. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy weak yeasty citrus aroma. Fruity malty hoppy bitter citrus flavor. Has a fruity malty hoppy bitter citrus finish.

Bottle. Pours with a clear gold and a white head. Clingy retention and lace. Big hop aromas of grass, citrus, zest and dankness, medium esters, low malt, lightly toasty, lactone oak. Flavors are dry, grassy, some soggy malt character, orange zest, dank hops, grainy, low esters. Medium bitter. Fuller carb, lots of grass. Dry.

Superb hop-oriented extra pale ale. Very aromatic citrusy hops in smell. In taste, nicely hop centric without almost any bitterness. A rich and flavorful pale ale, unusual for the style. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
