14 June 2013, bottle. Yellow, almost clear, no bubbles. Nose is moderate lemon rind. Thin body and mildly fizzy.a bit of lemon rind, some skunky bitterness. Okay b ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

22oz bottle. Rating #15. Hazy golden copper pour with a white head. Mild citrus aroma. Medium bitterness with a mild aftertaste and a little more citrus. (2743)

650 ml bottle from bev4less. Pours a hazy brass color with a small white head that has fair retention. The aroma is big and bold with oranges, mangoes and grapefruit. The taste, compared to the aroma, is a bit of a letdown. I get washed out grapefruit in the taste, backed by a light caramel malt base. The palate was a medium body with light carbonation. Finished shot. Overall: Nice nose but otherwise not really thrilled by this one.

Pours a deep gold, with a thick white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange peel and malt. Taste is malty with a citrus finish ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a deep gold color. Head is minimal. The second half is the bottle yeilded some haze. Aroma is fresh citrus, tropical fruits, mango and some caramels. Flavor is citrus, mango, peach, and tropical fruits. Crisp carbonation. Light, balanced, and drinkable. Fantastic This was a perfect pale ale. what a treat. Thanks Kasey!

Initial aroma was catchy... Big citrus and floral notes.. Though the beer became more subtle as I got into it. Light, honeysuckle and doughy malt notes, mix with a mild, bitter, herbaceous, citrus edge. Given this is an APA, I guess I shouldn't expect this to have the hop punch of an IPA, so I can't knock the beer for its balanced subtleties. Overall, this was a refreshing beer, totally sessionable beer, with a easy drinking mouthfeel, homebrew taste and balanced hop malt bill. A solid craft beer, just not what I was craving at this moment. --- tasted while on a long journey to understand the world around me...

Draft @ Monkey Paw Pub and Brewery, San Diego, CA. Pours a pale golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty citrus hoppy aroma. fruity malty hoppy bitter citrus flavor. Has a fruity malty citrus hoppy finish.

Pint at some LA Valley restaurant. Poured a golden orange color with a white head. Aroma was plenty of citrus hop notes, lots of citrus, lots of hoppy character in this one. Woah. Flavor was nice citrus notes, hop character, fruity. Mango, pineapple, grapefruit. Pretty darn good.

A nice beer but a little one note. Not much complexity in the taste or aroma. Probably won’t pick this one up again.

Draft. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. I would recommend this to a freind.
