Appearance: Pours murky and goldenstraw colored with a marshmallow head two fingers tall; the head takes forever to fade and leaves swathes of lacing behind
Smell: Papaya and citrus pith tones, along with hints of white wine grape
Taste: Papaya and lychee forward, with grapefruit pith flavors developing, in the middle; after the swallow, hints of white wine grape emerge, though the finish is pretty dry
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: A delight to drink, with an excellent use of southern hemisphere hops; you could call this a session IPA and not get questioned by that decision

Great, easy drinking, tasty summer offering!
Pours hazy yellow with 1 finger white frothy head that leaves heavy lacing on glass. Light mix of citrus and pine on the nose. Taste follows the nose with nothing overpowering in the mix. Hoppy, light, citrusy and goes down super easy. Average carbonation with otherwise soft feel to it. Very crushable, definitely will look for more of this one. Kind of like Kitten Biscuit's little brother, good stuff!

Can stamped 05.24.18
Juicy, foggy looking yellow color with a lumpy, sticky white head. Spicy, herbal hop nose with melon and citrus. A wash of green, fresh hoppy spice hits the tongue right away: grapefuity/scallion (kind of Summit-ish - which I happen to enjoy), pineapple, melon, grass, faint dough. Medium-light with the fluffy/dry thing going on. Very hoppy and very refreshing.

A: Pours a murky medium bright lemon yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + straw yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a couple of small patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit zest, and tropical/mango hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness.
T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of slightly juicy citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit zest, and tropical/mango hops which impart a slightly heavier than light amount of bitterness which lingers slightly.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation.Slightly soft/fluffy mid-body with a hint of dryness in the finish.
O: Very easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and quite refreshing on a hot day. Enjoyable and sessionable with a very pleasant hop profile.

Spectacular low abv ale. Super hoppy, unfiltered and indeed juicy. AND you can drink mire than one and drive a boat... mission accomplished.
Nice summery mouthfeel, not too sweet but little bitterness and hoppy hoppy hoppy.
Perfect summer ale, hope they keep it in their summer rotation.
