Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear yellow amber color with a huge puffy head of white foam. The head has a fantastic level of retention, fading slowly over time and leaving a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is huge of a floral, orange blossom aroma mixed with orange peel and some sweet orange juice. Along with these smells comes a bit of yeast and salt as well as notes of harvest fruits of pear and apple. Ther is also some lighter grapefruit and herbal hop mixed in as well, producing a rather intriguing smell.
Taste – The taste begins with a light cracker malt body paired with a moderately strong showing of a grassy and floral hop taste. The floral hop taste is as one may expect from the nose (never tasted an orange blossom, so I can’t say for sure) with a very flowery taste that is matched with a bit of orange peel. The orange peel taste grows stronger as the taste advances, all while so to does the floral taste, with the two flavors joined by other tastes of an herbal and grapefruit taste. Some light lemon develops throughout as well, and with a hint of funk and hay, one is left with a rather crisp floral/citrus hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is rather light with a higher carbonation level. Great for the session style and abv. and for the flavors as well, making for an easy sipper.
Overall – A rather nice, low abv., flavorful, crisp sipper good for a summer day sessioning.

Poured from a bottle dated 6/2018 into the test glass.
A - Lovely goldenrod colored backdrop, active carbonation moves relentlessly top side. With nice clarity the offering allows full view of the inner workings that support the thin white cap.
S - Floor swept malt, lots of Orange note, melon rime, and a bit of fresh cut grass
T - Citrus up front all orange in the best ways, a light malt wave, Yeast is neutral in this affair. Herbal hops are matched well
M - Very light on the palate, clean and crisp, with excellent citrus feel. Dry finish is near perfect
O - A real treat here, light on the palate, full in aromatics and the flavors are all summer, nicely done Element!
