Nice big foamy head, just off white, highly dimpled surface, not much lacing. The liquid is a gauzy rust yellow to zinc orange, bright, easy to see a host of active bubbles within. Dry citrus laden nose, the oats do come through well, then sea salt and grass mown yesterday, peach pit, apple, kiwi, white grape fruit scents, wouldn’t call it fruity per se, with its stiff, bracing presence in your nostrils seems to play its cards close to the vest. The foamy carbonation momentarily distracts you from the acute dryness, immediately starts ti turn the mouth tacky and sticky. More unprocessed grains here than distinct oats. Tart lemon, lime citrus, touch of white grapefruit, the citrus pretty much in charge here too. Quinine, almost outright minerally at times. Fruit array of kiwi, pineapple, green apple, apricot, none of it especially juicy. To me this is an outdoors hot day beer to be served ice cold. It’s not pleasurable like it aims to please you, more a refreshing jolt when you need relief. (Canned 6/4/20)

Lightly hazed body topped by a white mountain. Aroma of citrus, grass, hop spice, mango/kiwi. Tastes of citrus rind, kiwi, grass, hop spice, bitterness. Medium bodied, not that thick. Active carb cuts thru.

From a 160z can dated 06-04-20. Can says this batch was 5.5 abv. Lots of flavor here, “dank and fluffy” as the can states. Very nice for a summer beer with the low abv.

"Pillowy, hop-saturated, and crushable" is how this beer is described on the label. The first and last were certainly true as this was soft and easy to drink but the middle was a bit debatable. No, this wasn't a bad beer but like Sole, (as they were called when I obtained this) and later Separatist, there wasn't a date or anything stamped on the bottom of the can. This held up well when it came to the sediment but in terms of the taste, I think this was a quasi malt-bomb by the time I got around to it!

Light in hue, the gold was moderately radiant and a bit cloudy with plenty of head to top it off. Most of the lacing was along the top of my pint glass with just a few scattered sections below that. Lots of grass, grain, pineapple, and soft hops as the taste also contained apple, pear and candied sugar with a herbal undertone lasting throughout. A bit funky in the farmhouse sense, this was a smooth American Pale Ale with a balanced body to it and a decent amount of carbonation to it as that kept everything from feeling too heavy.

Not a lot of booze in this one as it was a good example of the style without being typical. The hops here weren't typical and this could have used a brighter taste and maybe some oats or barley to round things out but as it was, this was soft enough and slick enough on the palate that it was impossible to dislike this...

A thanks to the commander of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of tropical fruits. Taste is dank, pineapple, malts, moderate bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.

First had 6/21/16 at The Mint in Bethlehem. I hate to use this word, but it really is crushable. It is really a session IPA, albeit the most flavorful I've had. The oatmeal gives it a nice body and creamy, sticky texture. Tropical and dank for days.
