You know what, it hits the spot. Refreshing with good flavor, just not the type of beer i’d go crazy over.

Look - slight haze golden color with a white head and lacing
Smell - citrus slight grain standard ipa
Taste - Bitter citrus slight wheat
Feel - medium body and carb
Ovearll - fairly standard ipa

Good head production, but it’s frothy, almost fizzy, and quickly dissipates. Body is a shade darker than lemon yellow, very hazy, if not quite murky.

Soft overripe tropical fruit on the nose; milder citrus, pine, and herbal notes.

Lovely bite about the gums; still smooth, thanks no doubt to the oats and wheat. Low bitterness.

Not particularly juicy; I find this one more herbal and grassy, with a crackery pale malt base, wheat, lemon, and grapefruit peel. It’s quite a throwback profile.

 

 

12 oz can into a pint glass. Pours a very hazy light orange color with a soapy white head that leaves rings of sticky lace. Visible particles of sediment in the glass means I probably should have been a little more careful on the pour. Smells of fresh cut grass and doughy malt. Taste mostly follows and is nicely balanced between the hop bitterness and doughy malt sweetness. Medium-full bodied mouthfeel with a good amount of carbonation.
