Draft at Good Dog. Clear straw pour. Nice mellow grassy hops. Lemongrass. Celery hearts. Thyme. Bit numbingly herby but otherwise a smooth blend. Thirst quenching.

On tap at Bangers & Laces. Pours a near clear rich orange with a slight gold hue and a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a nice combination of citrus and dank pine with a light, sweet grain backbone. Flavor is similar with more dank pine and a lighter citrus presence with the same light backbone.

On tap at O’Briens. Bright yellow, lacing, looks good. Smells hoppy, lemons. Light hoppy flavor, goes down fast. Overall a solid pale ale with a good hop profile, maybe a little light on malts but that’s probably why it’s a summer pale ale.. Would buy another on draft.
Serving type: on-tap

It is mild and timid on first sip but drink some more and a world of hop flavors will appear on your palate.

Pours a clear golden honey color with a medium white head. Aroma is loaded with stonefruits...apricot and peach. Flavor follows suit...nice mild bitterness that doesnt erase the floral notes. Mouthfeel is medium and siljy with an apricot/grapefruit dry bitter finish...crisp and lingers with bitter stonefruits. Nice!

64oz Growler from Beverage World. Kegged July 11, 2012. Served at around 40-45F.
Pours hazy gold with a two finger white head that leaves a bit of lacing and holds a good cap.
Aroma is super-hoppy featuring pine, weed, a bit of onion, some grapefruit rind, grassy and floral. Excellent strength.
Flavor is almost like chewing one some whole leaf hops, resinous, citrus rind, pine, grassy, earthy, dank, there is a bit of sweet bready malt in the middle, finishes with very nice bitterness, minimal alcohol. Fantastic.
Mouthfeel is light/medium bodied, a bit oily, touch sticky, good carbonation.
Incredible Pale Ale. The hops are the absolute star of the show here with a very minimal amount of malt to interfere. Pure hop juice.

Growler from Canals West Deptford. Pours a glowing reddish orange, nice white head and lacing. Aromas are filled with tons of citrus, bubbleguum. Taste was nice and hoppy with pineapple, lemons, and very light malting. Awesome session beer...hope they start bottling it and sending kegs our way.
