This beer pours a crystal clear, golden color supporting a finely beaded, resilient, white head. The aroma is a menagerie of hop flavors: floral, orange, apricot, resin and tropical fruit. The medium body sports a light toasty and bready malt to support the more prominent citrusy, floral, and fruity hop flavor. This beer finishes with a  moderate bitterness, lingering citrusy hops, and a crisp, clean character. The complex hop character and refreshing finish make this beer a very quaffable and hoppy Pale Ale.
