Had on tap at Claimstake Brewing in Rancho Cordova, CA
Appearance - Served up into a Willi Becher pint, hazy and straw yellow in color with a mostly barren surface and a razor thin ring of suds around the edge of the glass.
Smell - Juicy aroma of white grapefruit, lesser tropical notes of papaya and pineapple.
Taste - White grapefruit upfront and throughout, with a mild pineapple character following suit. Faint papaya and melon. Distant bready malt sweetness. Finish is mild and juicy with aforementioned fruitiness.
Mouthfeel - Medium in body with fair, tingly carbonation. Slick, smooth drinker with a crisp, semi-dry finish.
Overall - Damn good NE-style hazy, and one of the rare true ones that Claimstake has dropped. Pretty cool they collaborated with UFC fighter Max Griffin on this one.

Subdued nose of some tropical notes on this one. It looks and feels the part...smooth and crushable...unfortunately, nothing really stood out to me on the flavor profile. Good, but not a go-to.
