Comes served in a pint glass, can be seen straight through as it's a yellow color with some hints towards orange. White, tiny-bubbled head has nice stick, leaves only a little lace. Some streamers for most of the time.

The aroma is pleasantly floral in hops, with a light hint towards pale malt/grain sweetness. I like what's there but would want it a bit more present.

The flavor really hits it for me; this is what I meant about presence. The hops are full-flavored up-front, very floral and crisp, much like their 8th Street. The herbal character is there too, dragging the hops into the back end of the beer. The finish is very light, showcasing a Pilsner-style malt which is unobtrusive but adds a bit of a dimension to what is otherwise rather overly carbonated.

Overly is a harsh word, as this is meant to be a quenching ale. I should say that there is a lot of carbonation, and that the finish is dry and quick. Not much aftertaste besides a general beery sweetness. I thought this quite a good summer ale, with enough hops to make it interesting but otherwise light enough not to be sticky and overbearing.

My guess would be around 5% abv, but it wasn't listed.
