Tap at Dunedin. Low haze gold pour. Decent lacing. Big citrus hop nose. Taste is soapy, chemical, some zesty orange peel. More bitter grapefruit comes to the rescue. Not too bad.

Draft at the source. Hazy golden. Olor, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of grass. Taste is grass, hay, subtle licorice.

Originally reviewed: 6/8/09. Pours a clear dark orange with a good-sized off-white head on top. Retention is decent, and it leaves nice sip rings on the glass edge. Smells sour at first whiff, but then it smells of veggies and breads. Mouthfeel is decent with a medium amount of carbonation. Flavor is muted and tame with a bready, mealy presence and finishes slightly sweet with a caramel note. Bitterness is low in this beer. This is decent and serves as a good thirst-quencher, but I would grab other APAs before this one.

On tap at the brewery. Tastes floral, light citrus, dough, and light banana. Slightly bitter and crisp. A nice easy drinkable pale ale.

On draft at brewery, poured an amber orange color, with a slight tart aroma with a touch of fruit, bread, and some hops. Taste has a hoppy start with a touch of sweetness.

Hazy gold, dense white head, medium body, medium co2.

Aroma: tart and funky.

Taste: leafy herbal hops, thin harsh malt.

Dunedin, Fl - on tap at the brewpub. Medium orange pour, foamy white head. Slightly funky aroma with a brief hint of toe jam which mellow out to muted citrus. Flavor is fruit forward with apricots dominating, a hint of muted citrus, a little buit of nuttiness. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. Very refreshing after sitting in the sun all afternoon watching a spring training baseball game.

Pours a clear light copper color with a white head. Aroma is fruity, toast, and spicy citrus hops. Flavor is fruity, toast, and nice bitter citrus finish.

As part of a sampler plate
Hazy yellow to orange color, white head. Some butterscotch, mainly citrus hoppy taste. Bitter and butterscotch aftertaste. Semi-moussy mouthfeel, high bitterness. Fruity, citrus, hoppy scent, also butterscotch.

Medium floral and fruity hop notes with some sweet bready malts. Medium bodied. Easy drinking but easily forgettable, too. It would make for a good session brew (if you knocked it down a %) on a friday night, though.
