Saw this on their tap list recently and got to try it for the first time on a trip out to Alpine for the first time in three months. Had relatively high hopes.

Poured a golden yellow hazy color with 2-to-3 fingers of rocky white head when I got it. Serene setting underneath. World-class spiderweb foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.25)

Smelled tangerine, nectarine, apricot, orange blossom, slight lactose, mandarin and hints of floral. Hard picking up a specific hop, but guessing Citra. (Smell - 3.50)

Taste was very light as expected. Very fruity, getting nectarine, apricot, peach, tangerine, orange, mandarin and even persimmon. Also floral, Citra, lime, lemon, guava and other hops I can’t figure out. (Taste - 3.75)

Light body. Creamy texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Abrupt finish. (Feel - 3.75)

Very refreshing overall. Not sure I’d want any more than this half pint, but I can see it doing well in the summer. (Overall - 3.75)
