Half pour on draft at the brewery.

Pours a milky pale orange, looking just like OJ in the glass. Spotty lace.

The nose is nice, mild but tropical. Papaya stands out. Not much hops in the aroma anywhere. Not a bad thing in this case.

It took me a minute to adjust to this, but I decided I liked it. Citrus peel stands out, subtly sweet but predominantly bitter with an odd bite to it.

An overall mild beer, with a creamy feel but light body. Juicy finish.

750ml growler, served in a snifter glass. Pours a hazy golden straw yellow body, one finger white head, plenty of retention, spots of lacing. Smells of grapefruit and pith, light lemon, slight bready grain, not much malt. Flavour is a mildly juicy citrus, stonefruit pith, a bit of pineapple and grapefruit, mild bread and grain, not much bitterness at all. Drinks like a mildly bitter fruited malt soda! Mouthfeel is medium bodied, good carbonation, creamy with a nice softness to it. They should can a beer like this, because these would be crushed quickly.

Hazy pale ale. Moderate white head. Explosive tropical aroma. Tropical and citrus flavor. Medium body with lower bitterness. Amazingly aromatic and flavorful for a < 5% abv hoppy beer.

On tap at the source. Hazy pale yellow. White head.

This one is much lighter than the others. In body and flavor. It still has a lot of hops going on with a bit of bitterness. Orange and mango. Floral notes.
