draft. hazed pale gold with a white head. straight shot American hop nose (citrus, grass, shallots, cheese rind, etc) with mild yeast presence giving the hop medley a bit of a blur, which is good. lean body but still has the typical Avery coarseness / huskiness to the malt. zippy, zesty American hop finish, high hop acids, medium-high bitterness, mostly dry. decent.

Sampled on tap at the Avery Taproom on 9/28/2012. This American Pale Ale pours a light gold color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal, fruity and hoppy. A medium to light bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity and citrusy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. A touch of grain, some malts and some hops is a very nicely mixed. Definitely a good session ale. Very nice crisp and dry finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp.
