From a tall can, this beer pours a golden yellow color...some clarity, with modest haze and tall, pretty, white head. Great lace. The aroma has a musty hop scent, a bit of pine and ripe fruit, backed by a little malt. The taste has more fruit flavors, a relative dryness, and a low-key bitterness. Flavorful and drinkable.

16 oz can into a pint glass. Slightly haze pale straw color with a large foamy white head. Mostly citrus aroma on the nose -- tangerine, orange peel -- with some faint floral hops. Taste is much more bitter -- strong earthy hop bitterness and bitter orange pith with some funkiness to it. A little jarring at first but mellows out a bit with every sip. Medium-light body.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on June 29, 2019. A mellow, sessionable pale ale with tropical fruit overtones and an undercurrent of citrus zest.

Not sure if they revamped the recipe, but this used to be listed as a blonde ale and is now definitely a very light pale ale

Draft pint.
Glassy pale gold, thin layer of foam with arcs of lace.
Aroma is muted, floral hop and basic two row malt.
Taste is ok, not especially hoppy, floral and mellow earthy greens.
Light bodied with light carbonation.
Overall pretty basic and utilitarian, not especially unique.

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a clear golden with white head that left a nice lace. The scent had a touch of tropical fruit. The taste was nicely balanced an easy to drink. The mouthfeel with lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid offering.
