Had this at University of Beer in Vacaville earlier this year. Been seeing a lot of Mason Ale stuff show up at the gas station near me in rural Nevada. Figured might as well give it a try on tap before going all in on a 6 pack.
Pours a blend of that gold and amber color, leaning heavier on the gold, 1/2" white head. Aroma was moderately hoppy, nowhere near what the commercial tug job said: Vic Secret, Huell Melon, Mosaic, Amarillo? I dunno, seemed like a lot of Vic Secret and just a hint of the others. Mild notes of orange and pineapple, like they watered down a bunch of Galaxy hops.
Taste was the same way. Good, but not a big enough of a hop banger to hang in this day and age with the elite. Alcohol was hidden relatively well, the malt bill wasn't excessive, out the way for the most part. Still had a unsweetened citrus component through the entire pint. Ultimately, I might purchase a pack of cans if I see it, depends on the price, solid good not great beer. Collab with Offshoot I believe.

Pours milky honey color with a thin creamy white head.
Nose: big floral hop presence with some honey undertones.
Taste: Tons of floral and citrus hops. No real malt presence. Finish is clean and dry.
Feel: Dry, light body, medium carbonation, very drinkable.
