The beer pours a decent white creamy head that dissipates fairly quickly. The beer itself looks very nice. It's a cloudy pale orange that looks fairly unique like one of the orange cream Popsicle.

The smell is good. It has a light oat milk creaminess that mixes well with an orange and light apricot note with a tiny hint of pine. The notes aren't over the top and heavy but strong enough to smell pretty good.

The taste is good. It's not a super hoppy beer but you definitely get the notes. The notes come off with a stronger pine note and a stronger apricot with a bit of orange in it.

The feel is good. It's a light bodied beer but the texture feels like it has more heft because of the oats. The oats give the beer a nice creaminess while the carbonation give it a nice tingling feel. It has a slightly dry finish.

Overall, this is a pretty session beer for the summer and just for the day generally. It has powerful enough notes to tantalize the senses and feels pretty good. Go for it.
