Pours a bright hazy golden color with not much head and a fair amount of carbonation bubbles. The aroma is Grapefruit and lemon with some zest. Almost tastes like a Squirt soda. Some sweetness to round it out. Very drinkable and refreshing. BOD 11-8-2023 Rated 1-6-2024

awesome can art, awesome beer, another banger in this series, i hate that i have missed a few recently, but thankful to have encountered this one, what a winner, a standout from a lineup of rock star hazy types we cracked all in one sitting. a great showcase of idaho 7, and without the green onion character i often get from them, cool to see the cryo of this varietal, not a common thing yet, and you can put strata in anything and it will taste good. i light washed out orange tone in the glass with three quarters of an inch of white rising head with good retention and some lace, uniform haziness, not super dense, slightly muted looking. the nose is awesome, peach and apricot and dried mango, even a little bit sweet like that, summery and tropical, with some hefty oaty type grain behind it, sturdy for this time of year but also seemingly enhancing the fruity hops, cantaloupe and tangerine come out as it warms a little. the flavor is as pungent as the nose, a light coconut thing up front, then the stone fruit, ripe and fresh and slightly sweet in the center. creamy feeling from the oats and wheat, sort of an aerated and whipped texture to me, light honey, vanilla, and frosted flakes to me at temperature. some danky weed-like character but not green or bitey, and with just a pop of back end bitterness, which i have come to really enjoy in my hazy beer. clean citrus and some lingering sugar on the swallow, really nicely made beer, great hop profile, excellent pizza beer. i need to do a better job staying up with each of these releases, always a fun and informative drink!

Canned on Nov 8, this one pours a beautiful hazy orange with a large fluffy off-white head. The nose and palate are full of zesty notes of grapefruit and grapefruit peel, melon and stone fruit, with that familiar wheat-y oat-y malt base. I dig this one a lot.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy yellow pour, small white foamy head. Fruity aroma, citrus zest. Taste adds notes of tropical fruit, more citrus and a lot of zestiness. Tangy, light juicy flavors

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, lychee, guava), very nice diesel like. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, lychee, guava), very nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty beer. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake!

16oz can served in a large snifter. Can is dated 11/08/23. I bought it at the brewery this afternoon.

Pours a hazy pale yellow-amber with a medium sized head that settles into a large island somewhere in between a thin skin and a heavy dusting. Smell is tons of tropical fruit and a lot of melon.

Taste is drier than the aroma suggests. Still very tropical, but now a lot more fruit skin character. Also a fair amount of citrus pith. Strong fruit skin bitterness builds up on multiple sips.

Mouthfeel is fluffy and full. Overall, nice beer.
