Can from the brewery in Livingston, NY. Pours a cloudy gold with a thin finger of rocky white head, nice lacing; smell is sticky citrus and tropical fruit juice, fresh orange slices, candied orange slices, orange hard candy, mango, pineapple, hint of dank pine resin and cotton candy; taste follows the nose with citrusy and tropical pop, graham cracker malts, tangerine flesh, mango, citrus zest, hint of grassy/dank pine on the finish; feel is light, bright carbonation, carbonic bite, dry finish. Citrusy, tropical, crispy, delightful.

Canned 2 days back.
A mildly hazy light orange with a dense, white head with excellent retention and lacing. The nose is great with a clean, fruity freshly hopped character. Peach, cantaloupe, orange, clean and fresh with a clean wheat note. The palate is crisp and clean, with a delicate backbone of wheat along with a beautiful hop character. Clean, fruity, mildly bitter with Peavy, melon, citrus and a little honey. Snappy, clean finish, bright and juicy with the wheat adding a little bitterness. Excellent.

16 oz can poured into a snifter glass. Pours light hazy yellow/orange with a foamy head. Aroma and flavor feature citrus, light wheat, and slightly grassy hops. Mouthfeel is light and airy, yet not watery despite the low abv. Crushable indeed.

Pours a semi hazy straw orange color. A thumbnail length head good displays good retention and lacing.
The nose is relatively simple, with notes of bread, cracker and biscuit paired with semi pungent hops aromatics. Fruity, citrusy and floral, with aromas that evoke grapefruit, orange, lemon, grass and pine.
Bright, citrusy and spicy hops flavors are well supported by a soft wheat base. Bready, biscuity and cracker like flavors support peppery spices, gras, and an easy going yet subtly assertive resiny bitterness. Bright notes of orange, lemon, and grapefruit. Palate is dry overall, with a dry and bright finish.
Medium to light bodied with a soft and smooth mouthfeel. The carbonation is moderate.
This beer is sublime. Simple but so well crafted, well balanced and simply crushable. I would have again.

16oz. can into a Brookly Brewery snifter.
Pours a bright, crystal clear goldenrod with a .5 inch head. Nose is citrus, foam, rubber, and a clean hop bitterness. Modestly aromatic. Beer opens citrus and peach up front. I get a touch of soft, pillowy malt sweetness in the middle with hints of lemon zest and a little grapefruit bitterness. Accented hop bight at the finish makes this one super easy to drink. Hard to believe this could have so much flavor. Body is light with ample carbonation. Prickly but somehow soft on the palate and goes down quenching, crisp and clean. Super drinkable.
Supremely drinkable. The perfect session beer.
