12oz bottle at share. Golden pour, small frothy white head. Light f unity, citrusy aroma. Taste is more of the citrusy hops, grassy, fruity with a nice little snap at the finish.

Not much of a head, no lacing, flat, not much aroma or flavor. The good thing is, I was thirsty and this was beer. I might have prefered water. Had this at the brewery.

From a 12 ounce can into a glass can says it’s 5.8% ABV. Surprised this beer is getting such a low rating it seems fine to me and an easy drinker

At the Page, AZ location, served in a shaker. Thick pineapple golden yellow, with a decent head and a lot of lacing. The caramel malt predominates, though there’s some indistinct overripe tropical and grapefruit. Carb is medium. Substantial mouthful.
