Pours an unattractive shade of gold. Hazy, but not opaque. Your mind wants to decide it's clear, yet you can't see through it. Head was minimal, and faded quickly without a trace. Looks like flat orange soda (Sorry, Kel). Nose is fresh oranges with a thin layer of indistinguishable bitterness. I want to say there's a bit of sweet peach candy somewhere on the tail end, but it may just be wishful thinking. Flavor is a whole lot of nothing mixed with some water and ice that's been in your freezer too long, followed promptly a mild tinge of alcohol burn. Some bubblegum will come through if you let it warm up a bit. Best part of it is the mouthfeel, defined by a nice amount of carbonation that's refreshing but substantial. Not the worst beer I've ever had, but I'd definitely never want another one. Skippable.

No canned on date, but I’m pretty sure 1st pickup day was today.

Pours a pale, hazy golden yellow. Small head of frothy white foam that dissipates quickly but doesn’t leave any lace behind.

The nose starts out with al grapefruit juice balanced by hints of tropical fruit. Gets a little more bitter as it warms, hoppy presence really becomes known.

Lots of bitter citrus through and through. A nice subtle but apparent piney hop presence fights through after a second. Getting hints of pineapple in the finish as well (hello, Galaxy).

A nice mouthfeel on this. Not too heavy, but with a slight numbing bitterness as it finishes really smooth.
