look: 3.5 | smell: 1.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

On tap a the KBC, first day of its re-release.

Finger plus of semi-foamy egg shell white head. Clumps of lacing. Hazy orange yellow colored beer, sparse carbonation bubbles rising up from the bottom. Very, very faint citrus & piney hoppyness. Slight metallic tones. Smells almost like nothing at all

Has many of the elements essential for great APAs. Piney hops, spicy tones, some almost buttery characteristics. Semi-bitter not much dryness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation.

Serving type: on-tap

A - Very nice golden body with no action to speak of. The head is two full fingers of off-white frothy goodness.

S - Soft hops with a citrus note and a light pine hint. It begs to be consumed.

T - Piney flavored sweet hops with a bitter finish.

M - It has a very smooth, almost creamy texture making this a very unique pale ale.

~ While it hints at being slightly too bitter I have to say, "I like it." This is a good beer that begs to be drunk.

Serving type: growler
