Upon opening the aroma of fruity-hoppiness came flowing out and it was certainly inviting. It poured a big frothy foamy head that took a moment to settle down. The lacing that was left behind was quite good and telling. The brew had a "dirty/hazy" look, and it had the look of wheat-amber. The taste was quite flavorful, almost like the pineapple it describes on the can. It was better than expected. It tingled on the tongue, indicating that it was still fresh. It would go well with some lemon-zested chicken and some swiss-cheese.

12oz can, no apparent freshness date. Cloudy amber colored ale with a huge beige head. Earthy, grainy, caramely, pineapple-y aroma. Flavors are unique with that pineapple mixing with earthy and herbal citrus and pine notes; heavy malt backbone of grain and caramel. Medium body, finishes modestly bitter and dry with some mild off-flavors. I wouldn't buy this one again.

Pours a clear golden color, small soapy head that's gone quickly. Very little hop aroma, grassy and earthy. Not much flavor. No date on the can, part of a pick six. Didn' leave a good impression, doesn't mean I won't try anything else. Interesting artwork on the can.

Pours a soapy, white head that laces nicely. Great citrus aroma. Hazy, straw color with a touch of burnt umber. Starts with a really nice grapefruit hoppiness, and medium bitterness. The finish is a touch of sweet malt over lingering citrus rind.
This is quite nice. It's bright and hoppy, but not overly bitter. I could session this.

Draft, golden orange, spotty lace around the edges.
Weak yeasty homebrew aroma, tea-like aroma and taste. Very little if any hop character.
Watery and flabby feel, not much bitterness. Very dull overall. Unfortunately it makes a pretty bland first impression from these guys. I'd be happy to try their other beers to get a better idea of their lineup.
