Pours a hazy straw color with a hint of green and a medium head that goes away quickly. A lot of carbonation and some lacing. It has a citrusy aroma, almost dank and mild with a mild hop taste/bite. Very different. a slight sweet lemon taste with other tropical fruits. I'm not quite sure what to think of this beer. Rated 1-6-2023

12 oz. can from a 6-pack, purchased from Safeway in West Salem Oregon
Canned 01/02/23
Pours a murky yellow coloured body, with a nice looking thick and consistent white head.
Pleasant light citrus aromas, lemon, clementine and a slight spruce like thing going on. Lovely but seems so delicate.
Taste very similar to the aromas. With light lemon mixed with a bit of pine hops. Works very well .
I loved the mouthfeel. The carbonation is very strong but does not destroy the taste. Lovely light bitter finish.
Great lower alc. APA. Extreme drinkability, would be immense in Summer time.

12oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy yellow pour, thin white foamy head. Soft citrusy aroma, pineapple and lemon. Taste is light and fruity, citrus zest. Feels a bit thin. Finishes fast.

12oz can pours out a hazy golden straw-color with a fluffy white head. Powerful hop presence for a 5% pale, tropical and crisp and pungent, zippy with a present bitterness...there are also notes of pine, tangerine, stone fruit, lime...all around a crusher with tons of hop flavor.
