Seemed a little off-balance. I can’t quite place it, but it appears to be the Benny’s Pale Ale malt backbone with different hops. The hops seem to cause the imbalance. They seem at odds with each other, and instead of forming a united bitterness and flavor, seem to cause undue bitterness instead. Not one of the best things I’ve had at Shoreline. I will try it again. Could be a good thing to bottle to see if the bitterness subsides.

This poured a hazy copper/amber body with a slender head. Surprizingly good lacework. It had an aroma of pink grapefruit, zest of lemon, caramel, and a touch of pine. Nice citric bitterness in the flavor, tipping the scale in favor of the hops over the caramel, grainy sweetness of the malt. Sessionable.

Tap: Orangy hazy hue with a small fizzy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of grapefruit, pear, pine, flowers, caramel, and biscuity malt. The taste has a mild hop bitterness and acidic fruity tone supported by the mat. The finish is slightly astrengent and chalky, a tad soapy too. The mouth feel is lightly carbonated and light to medium-bodied. An okay effort, sessionable.

On tap at Shoreline Brewery and served in a shaker. This pale ale poured a chill hazed amber with a thin head of beige foam that quickly receded into a thin layer. Just a bit of lace. The aroma of the beer contained notes of citrus and pale malts. The flavor included mildly bitter grapefruit and orange along with a touch of caramel. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. A highly sessionable APA.

Tasted 4/27/08. Pt 3 of the sampler. Hazy with a dull golden hue. White layer of head. Caramel and hop aromas. Medium bodied with good hop dossage. Solid flavor and tasty! Nice hoppy bitterness. Tingling effervescnece. Crisp with a high drinkability. Solid session beer. Bright and really well crafted! Definite favorite from this joint.
