Brewed in collaboration with the Open Bottle.
Canned 5/9/18; drank 6/5/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque orange appearance.
A violent pour yielded a nice, noisy white head; frothy lace.
Pineapple, orange citrus & faint dry grass notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Pineapple & orange citrus flavors up front; faint dry grass finish.
A bit soda-like, but overall way better than expected, considering the brewery.

Had on tap. The lactose and vanilla were a potent force on the finish of the taste. Honestly didn't need that much sweet because I like the front with the tropical fruit and hops. Sweet finish undercut feel a little too. Poured like a fruity drink from the beach

Can with no date received as an extra in a trade! Looks hazy, juicy, golden color with minimal white head leaving a little lacing behind. Smell is light fruits both citrus and tropical, earthiness, grassiness, and subtle malt. Very medium taste with fruits, cracker malt, subtle grass, and faint dank! Fell is light and juicy, but it's a pale! Overall pretty decent and my first offering from this brewery!
