A - Poured a clear, bronze color with a thick, one-finger head of tan foam. It left nice rings of lace on the glass.

S - A very grassy aroma with citrus notes. There were caramel aromas present, too.

T - A solid APA flavor. Nice bitter hops with a citrus taste. A good burnt toast maltiness balances the whole beer.

M - It was crisp and sharp with a dry finish. A light to medium-bodied beer.

D - This is a solid APA. I enjoyed it slowly while talking to friends at the brewpub.

Serving type: on-tap

This was one tasty pale ale, glad to have tried it. Came to the table in the standard shaker pint - semi-hazy amber with a lacey ivory head floating on top.

But the pleasant aspect of this brew was the citrus and orange infused in both the aroma and the taste. Seemed to be close to a light IPA style. I would have had a few more of these, but I wanted to move up to the new bad boy on the block - the wheat wine.

But I'll have more of these tasty brews on my next trip to SQ1.
