Had on draft at the brewery. Huge hopping character throughout. Big citrusy notes, pine, citrus rind. Not a good balance between the malts and bitterness. Overall a good beer.

Cloudy orange pour with a creamy white. Really nice citrus aroma, grapefruit, tangerine, and orange. Pine and floral hop notes, a slight malt sweetness, and bread. Good fresh citrus flavor, plenty of bread, and light pine. Some light bitterness, toast, and citrus peel. Very standard, clean, and easy to drink pale ale.

Sampled with Andrew and Moreau at GABF 2012. Pours a hazy amber orange body with thine white lacing. Aroma is fresh, juicy burst of citrus and tropical fruit and nice light, fresh pine. Mouthfeel is medium with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, pine and light citrus. I wish I had access to more 50/50 brews.

Draft at Fiftyfifty. New entry apparently. One of the juiciest Pale Ales I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Pours hazy orange, thin white head, above average lacing. Nose is peaches, grapefruit, tropical fruit, very juicy and lush nose. Flavours of light peaches, delicious grapefruit, loads more fruit and citrus. Light pine and spice, just in the finish. Just lovely stuff. Mayne my new favorite Pale.
