Darker version of their oval beach blonde, visually, with its dark gold and mild sediment. Head clings to the glass more, however.

I don't love IPAs, but if I do take a liking to one it's because of the balance of bold flavour and bold bitterness. This doesn't have nearly so much flavour as I require to enjoy it, so I'm not entirely sure what to think. Good fresh grain nose, though.

Copper colored with excellent clarity and a quarter inch of beige on top. Moderate lacing. The aroma is of tangerine and light malt. I’m tasting pine and light, crisp crackery malt. The mouth is faintly sticky and refreshing.

I wanted to like this one so much based on reviews but I just couldn’t. Poured a nice light copper color with just a little head. Smells faintly of hops and malt. Tastes of some malt, bitter citrus zest hops but also with a slightly unpleasant lemon soapy aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel and good carbonation. Just couldn’t get over the odd flavors and definitely wouldn’t call it sessionable. Some of the bitterness and corn/grain aftertaste almost reminded me of an AAL, but not in a good way.

Taste: a gentle floral, dry hopped flavor with a clean finish. Mild floral nose. Amber hue, clear, some head and lattice of lace. Medium light body. Easy drinker. 45 IBUs
