Enjoyed this beer at the brewery on tap and also grabbed a growler to-go. This review is based on the growler, which I am drinking one day after I picked it up from the brewery, fresh.

Appearance: Pours a golden color, not too dark, not too light. Fairly standard pale ale coloring, leaves a little head (there was a bigger head on tap, maybe a finger or two).

Smell: Floral hops, but pretty light hops which is actually very nice. Very impressed by the smell. Tropical notes with some mango are definitely detected.

Taste: The taste matches the smell very well, but is surprisingly light and refreshing. I could drink this one all day. The hops are still definitely present and make this beer very tasty for how light it is. Tropical flavors and pine.

Mouth-feel: Very thin, some carbonation but pretty light as well. This one was made for drinking heaps of.

Overall: One of the most sessionable beers I have ever had. The pleasant smell and taste along with how light and refreshing this is make it a spot-on "light" version of a pale ale. Absolutely delicious.
