Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about seventeen dollars. My fourteenth brew from these guys. Canned on date of 4/6/23. Just ok for me.

16 ounce can - $4.50 at Woodstock Beer Market in Woodstock, Georgia.
Canned on: 11/09/22.
Appearance: Has a look about it like bottled lemon juice. Hazed, off-yellow hue with a scattered, brief, white head.
Smell: Bright aroma of freshly-squeezed citrus fruits with some slighter, less hints of stonefruit and tropical treats. Brings about some berry tones as it warms a skosh.
Taste: Citrusy lemon-lime, tangy grapefruit juices merged with some tropical pink guava, mild mango, melon. Swings past strawberry and a rather restrained spiciness of green tea. Minimal maltiness beyond a creamy element of unmalted grains throughout.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body but with a light underlying creaminess. Medium carbonation.
Overall: Pleasantly citrusy, easy-drinking, refreshing PA with a very likable ABV.

Light mild lemon notes, mellow, slight creaminess. Certainly unique!

Canned on 02/09/22 stamped on bottom of can. Poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.
A: Pale hazy yellow with short-lived 1-finger white foamy head with single slim ring of lacing.
S: Aroma is light with lemon-lime, white grapefruit, and light mango-peach and candied oranges in the finish. Esters are light.
T: Flavor is good with more lemon-lime, grapefruit, guava, mango, and again candied fruit with a nice pale malt note in the late-palate as well. Low esters, mostly floral, with no alcohol and mild bitterness.
M: Very light and brushing into thin category with at least moderate carbonation and very dry finish.
O: Foam Brewers' Canvas is a nice beer but seems to be aiming for subtle when not many are. Enjoyable but lacking a signature feature aside from the late malt note.

16oz can from Half Time. Pale yellow hazy pour with a thick fluffy white head. Light, faint citrusy aroma, bready. Taste is more subdued citrus peel flavors, zesty. Very soft.

Can courtesy of yllib.
Pours a fairly light orange-yellow. Very hazy. Thick white head.
Tropical fruit aroma. Actually bringing out bananas and mangos.
Tastes like a quenching mango juice. Not exactly but that’s what is feels like. There’s are tropical and citrus notes. Vinous grape notes.
Mouthfeel is perfect not being thick or watery. Highly carbonated!
Solid. More satisfying and thicc than many “hazy” ipa’s.

Has a pleasant dull gold color, cloudy with a sudsy 3 finger head that retains fairly well, leaving spotty lacing. Aroma is in the bright floral lemon range with a touch of something more tropical sweet in the background. The taste is pretty full for a light-end pale ale. There is tangerine and lemon up front that with a dry white grape by mid taste that continue into the finish. Feel is soft with a light bitterness that lingers in the finish mostly.
This is a full flavored beer that has a complicated, maybe aetheral taste profile.

Nice little hazy session beer. Great golden color with lovely pillowing head. Sticky too.
I get some candy off the nose - almost citrus skittles along with some tart malt tones. Crispy and fruity.
Taste is a nice and tangy without much bitterness but plenty of dryness in the linger. Notes of pineapple and wheat are unique. Flavors pop for such a tight package.
Very coating mouthfeel, but not so much that it is viscous. Flavors wash in the mouth heavily and the dryness keeps it from being too sweet.
Nice beer - like it and think it is very drinkable.

Pours a hazy, yellow-orange with two fingers of foamy, off-white head. Spotty, soapy lacing.
Tea, light citrus and pepper in the nose.
Nice full flavor for an APA with creamy orange citrus and pepper most prominent. Relatively clean finish, with just a kiss of earthy, tea-like bitterness and lingering citrus pith. A little mineral water, too.
Strong carbonation to the feel. Not too hefty, but comparatively pfull bodied for the style.
Tasty, refreshing brew perfect for a summer afternoon.

a neat dry hoppy hazy pale here, some new zealand hop varietals leading the way from what i can tell, an awesome fruity nose on it and a tasty beer overall, but a little starchy and dense for all day drinking, and with just a touch of that green hop bite to finish, not quite as well refined as i was expecting from these guys at this point, and frankly a little bit raw, but its hard to argue with this hop profile, and i enjoyed this pretty well overall, a nice lake breeze blowing through their well shaded front patio didnt hurt either. i get lemongrass, kiwi fruit, french melon, starfruit, lime, and mandarin orange from the can in the nose and taste, some summery white wine notes too, a light grassiness and freshness to the whole thing, it tastes just a little green, but the fruitiness of the hops is awesome, some sativa and soft citrus at the climax, more tropical on the swallow, really pretty compelling stuff, and almost all post fermentation it seems, as the bitterness here is quite low. this is really close to being something special, but just lacks a certain level of refinement. i like the earthy grains, the overall dryness, yet also the fluffy body that they provide. the hop profile is exceptional, notes of nelson but id love to know what they use, and a beer i thought i would want to drink all afternoon but ended up being one and done with. its never been the hoppy stuff that has turned me on the most here, but this is solid all in all.
