The beer pours light amber in colour with a good white head. Clear in appearance. Head retention is low as it despitates with time. 
It has a strong floral and fruity hop aroma and flavor with a good malt backbone supporting the hops. 
A biscuity and low caramel like aromas and flavours could be detected. Low to moderate-low Citrus fruit like pomelo and low candy like sweetness was found which is accompanied with low melon and peach like aromas and flavors. Hop bitterness is pronounced and has a moderate piney and resinous aroma and flavor of the hops.

On the palate this was a medium bodied beer with pronounced hop bitterness with floral and Pine flavors coming through. Low to medium-low astringency was found. Carbonation is normal. The beer leaves a good hoppy aftertaste of pine which lingers on the palate and leaves a dry finish.
Overall Impression : The A-Game was a hop forward Pale ale which is a very good American Pale ale. The hops are surely the shining element but the malt does give it a backbone to support the fruit and piney hop character. Very refreshing with good hop bitterness which lingers on the palate and washes down without any harshness. Pine aromas and flavours are prominent and does not overwhelm other beer flavors which makes it very drinkable. Seems like a very simple beer but has alot of elements to it would surely love to grab another bottle from 2 Down Beer Co. People would not like the piney flavors from the beer but I personally loved the beer. Looking forward to visit their Beer pub soon. Cheers🍺
