On tap at the Blake street location in Denver, bright honey gold color, with a white head, light honeyed pale malt nose, with some citrus floral hop accents, with a pine aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet toasty, honeyed malt character, with a grainy, caramel accent, a note of vanilla spiciness, a mild flowery hop leafy accent, leading towards a malty, faint hop bitterness finish.

Not too big a fan of this one. Basically a macro, but with flavor. Maybe a nice gateway beer, but just wasn’t my thing. Some hops, lots of water, and bitterness. I would grab this instead of a macro in a heartbeat, but wouldn’t buy it if I had other craft options.

Draft at DEN airport. Golden orange, white head. Some hops in the flavor - enough to keep you interested. Beyond that its pretty bland tho. Ends on a dry note.

12oz bottle. pours pale orange, white rocky head. Hearty all hop aroma of citrus hops. big pnw c-note nose. decent malt character, spicy hop bitterness. malt shows signs of caramel the finishes with a long lasting bitterness. it is just the way a full flavored American Pale Ale should be. Overfall the malt character is wholesome, but the bitterness is a bit much for any chance of there being balance. Still tasty though. 8,3,6,2,13

Copper pour with decent white head. Light citurs on the nose. Flavor had some hops up front followed by a good bit of malt to wash them away. Medium body with a slightly bitter and roasted finish.

Poured a clear gold color with a three finger white head. Aroma is citrus hops. Flavor was seriously citrus. Poor balance. I still enjoyed this beer slightly, but not the best APA out there.

Pours a bright clear orange with medium foamy white head. Aroma is slight orange sweetness and bit of grapefruit. Flavor reminds me of those sugared orange slice candies with a bit of tart bitter hop finish.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden-amber color with a small, slightly creamy, off-white head that clings to the glass. Taste is of caramel, malt, pine and mostly hops. Fairly bitter, especially in the finish. Aroma is much the same. For the price, this is a lovely beer, that is very easy to drink and enjoy. I wouldn’t mind buying this on a regular basis.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a nice white head. Aroma is Hops, citurs and sweet malt. Flavor is watery with hops, citrus, sweet malts and some wheat. Kind of watered down. Also picked up some metalic notes which is not good.

12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, VA. Golden orange pour. A vigorous pour produced a 4-finger head. Average retention and not much lacing. Nice citrus hop aroma. Pine and citrus hop taste with a creamy and slightly sweet background. Nicely balanced. Surprising it’s rated so low.
