On tap at Brickwall Tavern Asbury Park NJ. Pours a clear medium golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of fresh citrus. Lots of grapefruit and orange. Taste of sweet malt, mild floral and citrus hops, and not much bitterness. Very easy drinking and refreshing.

Golden pour with a white head. Nose is bready with some citrus and light pine hop notes. Floral, some hints of grass, biscuit, and maybe caramel. The flavor is fairly sweet and malt forward. Bread, caramel, and biscuit. Citrus peel, pine, and floral hops with a light bitterness. Some grass and herb notes too.

Guest tap @ Pizza Port Solana Beach. clear medium golden, rapidly vanishing head. Aroma is sweetly hoppy. Sweet, almost syrupy palate, with notes of Swedish Berries candy amongst the overripe fruitiness of the hops in here. A little strange. Just okay for me.

Pours a straw yellow with a small white head with little lacing. Aroma is of citrus, pine, some freshly cut grass, sweet malts, some herbs, and some bready malts. Taste is similar with a lot of lemon, pine sap, grass, sweet bready malts, and some herbs. Has a medium body with a semI creamy mouthfeel and a dry, semi bitter, white wine like finish. Overall, a pretty tasty wet hop ale.

Draught Almost no head, straw-coloured beer. Banana, honey, grapes, sweet. Sweet-ish, gareen herbs, liqueurish. Syrupy, but NOT cloying. Sticky, well-bodied. Strange... I got anything BUT dry-hopping. How this works (was actually called Dry Hop ale..)

Taster at brewery. Pours on the yellow-gold side, light lacing of foam, good middling apparent carbonation. Dry hop is very present in the nose, along with the sweet grains, taste is almost white wine like, sweet and tart, before a clean bitter finish. Really clean, amazing brew, slightly buttery mouthfeel.

Half pint at tasting room. Good aroma, tart. Peppery, mango, clean yellow orange. Ok head and lace. Bittersweet flavor. Light body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, bitterdry finish. Nice, easy drinking pale ale.

This beer is a stand out beer for me. It has plenty of hop aroma and flavour balanced with a nice maltyness. This beer has a very rounded bitterness that. A,es for a very enjoyable experience.

(Pours a clear copper color with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Aroma is grapefruit, mango, papaya, pine. Taste follows suit with some sweet malts and pleasant bitterness. Medium bodied with oily texture. Dry, lightly bitter finish. Really nice beer. Glad to see this in arizona!

Dark yellow. Very light aroma with hints of medicine and fusal. Flavor has hops but no where near enough. I get too much sweet malt and not enough cascade and maybe a fusal note.
