Pours a honey colored gold, not too cloudy, not super clear either. Looks appealing, of course, with a fizzy head that seems to overwork and kill itself. The beer keeps lacing all the way down. Always a good sign.

Piney hops on the nose and some citrus notes, honey.

The taste is pretty complex! Strong citrusy hops and honey. The honey is very prominent with the malt background in this beer. Its an interesting, great taste. The hops keep bittering in the finish that also is a bit bready as well. All fairly well balanced.

Pretty good! I liked it..It was a little bit different than the usual APA.

I figured I should put it out there that this review is coming in on my third one of the evening.
Appearance is good, A golden light amber color. Smell is OK, not very strong. A little citrus a little pine. Not a whole lot going on with that. Taste is little better then the the smell. You get the same things, with a litte grapefruit bitterness from the hops and some bready taste from the malts. Mouthfeel is good, light and crisp. This a good beer for today since I've been busting my @$$ in the yard today and it's the hottest it's been all year.

Pours clear and light. Copper/gold with a fingers worth of foam that fell fast but left a skin and hung around on the sides of the glass. Spritzy looking with constant bubbles rising from the bottom. Nose is floral and herbal. Light orange and lemon citrus.A little pine, grass and corn. There’s even a touch of musty basement. Malt is bread and plenty of caramel. Taste is clean and smooth. Malt is cereal, bread, dough & caramel. Hops are light but stay with the nose. Slightly sticky mouthfeel and a lingering sweetness. Semi dry, creamy and very easy to drink. I thought this was a pleasant and easy to drink ale and while it wasn’t really extraordinary, you could drink a few of these.
