Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Mix of tropical and stone fruit with juicy citrus, slightly resinous, a little Southern Hem diesel, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Zing of tropical and stone fruit, pineapple, passion fruit, peach, mango, and apricot, plenty of zesty citrus, grapefruit, orange, lemon, and lime, resinous, a bit of Southern Hem diesel, slightly grassy, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, slightly prickly moderate carbonation, super crushable for 8%
O: Crazy drinkable big brother to Astro Haze.

Appearance looks like a cloudy dark gold color with 1/2" white head on top.
Aroma is pineapple from Galaxy for sure, not as pungent as some Galaxy offerings out there, but enough quality and quantity to make it clearly discernable.
Taste is much the same, not quite the pungency of say, Galaxy Juice (Fieldwork) but its also cheaper than that one. Loads of grapefruit and pineapple from the hops. The mouth feel is something New Glory excels at, makes 8% beers relatively crushable. Later in the 4 pack, I noticed the beers took on a very light, popsicle stick level of woodiness. Could be age, could just be some malt wheat barley or oat nuance I was picking up on. Of course, maybe its just me, but every time I get pineapple, I also get some pine.
Average carbonation and neutral yeast impression make sense with this beer. Not sure I agree with the commercial tug job about expressive yeast here, but who cares, I like it.

From tasting notes 10/22/18
Had on-tap at Round Table Clubhouse in Citrus Heights, CA
Appearance - Served up in a 16oz snifter, deeply hazed and yellow-orange in color with a thin, broken layer of suds. Good lacing with webbing decorating most of the glass. 4
Smell - Piney aroma with lesser grapefruit and indistinct fruitiness.
Taste - Follows the nose. White grapefruit upfront with a hint of peach, then a big punch of pine hits mid-taste. Slight bready sweetness. Prominent bitterness in the finish with grapefruit pith, pine, grass and a hint of leaf.
Mouthfeel - Medium in body with fair carbonation. Lightly silky texture before a bone dry, slightly chalky finish.
Overall - Good brew, but a bit more bitter and piney than expected for a hazy.
