Brewed with 2-row, oats, and wheat for a gentle balance. Whirlpool-hopped and dry-hopped with Citra, Apollo, and Amarillo for a bright hop presence. Making this summer ale crisp and fruity for those hot summer days.

Poured from 16oz can into a tulip. No packaging date that I can see.
Appearance: light golden hue with a little bit of haze and a thin layer of frothy white foam. Neither bad nor special.
Smell: light, slightly piquant hop aroma. Not especially strong or complex.
Taste: a little bit of toasty malt followed up with a mild, floral hop flavor. There's nothing off about it, per se, but it just seems exceedingly plain to me.
Mouthfeel: light body with a decent carbonation. Effervescent and refreshing.
Overall: this isn't a bad beer, and honestly I could see drinking a lot of it at the beach or tailgating or something. So, points for crushability, but not a lot for flavor or originality.

Cool-kid 16oz can, date is obscured on the bottom rim of the can, but canned on 0x/19/19, poured into 14oz teku. Poured a very cloudy pale yellow color with about 1/4 inch of white head that quickly dissipated and left no lacing.
The aroma and flavor were dull, subdued hops and soft grains, no real stand-out features. The body was light and smooth, with a semi-dry finish. Drinkability was OK-ish, but with such a dull flavor profile, why have another? Overall, a disappointment. Pass if you see it.
