Mid yellow golden color. Slight lime on nose. Decent carbonation bubbles nicely. Fresh with faily long citrus finish with lime and and tangerine notes. On tap at Crazy Crab on Hilton Head. Pairs well with gator bites and she crab soup.

On-tap at The Crazy Crab, Hilton Head Island, SC

A: The beer is hazy light yellow in color in has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin white head that left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and and has light flavors of orange citrus with just a faint amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink and the citrusy aromas and flavors prevent it from being bland.

Serving type: on-tap

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear gold color with a small white head. The aroma is hop ladden. The taste is mild hops with a bitter finish .

It's ok. Drinking from a can I bought at Racetrac. Trying not to be overly enthusiastic after spending several days in a minivan with my kids. I'm glad I'm drinking beer. This one is an easy summer brew.

The Tropical Lager from Hilton Head is ok....its hard to tell what they were trying to do with this one. Its light for summer...but very spicy and tart. I did notice when I rinsed the can out there was a lot of settlement.....maybe that is affecting everything. The beer poured a clear yellow with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent and taste carried spice....that finish also left a tartness. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall....NOPE...not a fan.
