Hazy pale ale with local South Carolina wildflower honey, brewed and dry hopped with Citra and Azacca. Bright and citrusy with a subtle sweetness.

A: Pours a very hazy medium bright yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint lemon yellow + straw yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a medium to large sized patch of thin sudsy film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit rind, citrus/grapefruit pith, citrus/tangerine zest, and pine hops over the top of light aromas of light bready + cereal grain + wheat malts with light amounts of honey sweetness.
T: Upfront there are light flavors of light bready + cereal grain + wheat malts with light amounts of honey sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit rind, citrus/grapefruit pith, citrus/tangerine zest, and pine hops which impart a light amount of lingering bitterness as well as lingering citrus hop flavors.
M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Hints of dryness in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a refreshing mouthfeel. Enjoyable with lots of citrus hop flavors and aromas. Definitely could have a few of these.

16oz can from Tasty Beverage In Asheville.
Pint glass. Yellow, cloudy. Lather-y head, mild but fresh citrus hops.
Light, rindy bitterness, slick, chewy malt, faintly sweet, smooth.
Very easy to drink. Enjoyable even. Just disappointed that this didn’t go harder on the honey.
