On draft at Nodding Head. Nice pour, a little lighter in color than I expected. Light to medium body with a good hop profile. On the lighter side for an APA, but refreshing.

Draft - part of sampler at brewery. Pours an amber/brown color with a normal-sized slightly off-white head. Aroma is malts, grass and citrus. Flavor is much the same. Pretty balanced IMO. Quite drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark orange or amber with an off white head. Decent citrus aroma and flavor with bisuity malt. Mild bitterness and dry finish. Kind of Dale’s light.

On draft at the brewpub. A pretty plain and straight forward pale ale. Typical appearance, decent head and lacing. Aroma of grains and citrus/floral hopping. Flavors followed but the malt seemed to have a bit of wheat in there, the finish certainly accentuated by bittering hops too. Overall, the flavor was a bit too weak and the mouthfeel watery/thin (wanted more out of this), but an ok drinker ahead of the Flyers’ game 4 W over Les Habs.

Tap, poured a dark orange color with a medium white head. Initial flavor has a nice bite to it, with a bitterness more akin to an IPA than a regular pale ale. The bitterness dies away and the flavor becomes a bit more subdued. A nice selection that I enjoyed.
