12 FLUID OZ. can
Served in a pint glass

This beer pours a brilliant golden color with billions and billions of bubbles slinging to the sides of the glass. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves spotty lacing.

It has a light citrus and pine aroma.

The aroma is light, but the flavor is a smack in the mouth. It is dank. It has a great citrus flavor with mild grapefruit and pine in the finish. The finish is slightly dry.

Light bodied with an effervescent mouthfeel

Columbus Brewing rarely misses on a hoppy beer. They nailed this one. It is light and easy to drink with great hop flavor.

L: Foamy malts. Enjoy cold. Clear amber.

S: Grapefruit and pine, though much calmer than what I'd expect from Columbus.

T: Tropical, dank, and resinous. It reminds me of double bubble gum for some reason.

F: Middleweight, a touch oily with a fun and fruity finish.

O: Quite nice. A variation of the classic style. Not a game changer though.

I got a 6pck of this beer from my local meijer. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had Fresh fruit salad notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink fresh fruit presence and subtle nip of anise. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

Bottled on 9/4/19

Pours a clear, deep golden bronze body, topped with a pillowy, slightly off-white head; excellent retention recedes slowly to a thick cap and consistent layers of webby lacing along the glass.

Aroma opens with a punch of fresh ruby red grapefruit as pine tones nicely distributed; a tropical medley bursts forth in spots against a backdrop of herbal sweetness and flaky caramel malt; light dank pineapple creeps in the background.

Taste shows big notes of grapefruit upfront balanced by a subtle but assertive tropical undertone featuring dank pineapple and mango peel; pine, herbal hops, and a light caramel malt finish.

Mouthfeel is lighter bodied with a fluffy moderate carbonation, crisp hop prickle complements an easy, drying malt presence through a slightly bitter, satisfyingly easy swallow.

The easygoing nature of this one belies even it's relatively tame 6.1% ABV; this is about as sessionable as it gets, with ample, varied flavor and crisp consistency making this an all-around pleaser.
