Fame, fortune and a fistful of lupulin. Mosaic, Cashmere, Idaho 7, Falconer’s Flight and high-oil Centennial hops. Notes of crushed pineapple, fresh lemon zest, and bitter pine. Crisp & clean. The kind of gold worth fighting for.

Name is fitting. Color and nose are the best parts of this beer. Absolutely zero WC characteristic outside of nose and color. No bitterness either. Try again please

From the label: "CANNED ON 04/11/22"
Appearance: The body is brilliantly clear with a beautiful gold body and a medium-short white head that is fluffy with good retention and excellent sheets of lacing.
Aroma: It has a bit of a freshly cut bush aroma with some hints of mint. There are notes of garlic. It smells pleasant.
Taste: Freshly cut basil and mint with some grass come through up front. The flavors stay consistent through the middle. It has some mint and garlic towards the end and it has a mint and lemongrass finish. It is nice.
Mouthfeel: It has this mild herbal astringency but it also has this dry and earthy rawness which gives it a grassy bitterness. The beer is light and it finishes very dry.
Overall: It is an interesting beer that most likely won't be for everyone. It has this really interesting grassy character that tastes very fresh but also feels too green for the beer. I could drink it again and I would recommend at least trying it, but I would recommend starting with a single can or a pour first.

Pours a clear golden color, carbonation is visible. A large foam head retains well, with lots of lacing.
The nose starts off relatively mild with bready and biscuity malt character and hint of citrusy hops. Hops aromas continue to develop, yielding floral/fruity notes, grapefruit, orange, a hint of lime, peach, pineapple, papaya and pine resin.
Solid and sweet malt backbone throughout, with notes of biscuit and honey supporting sticky and resiny hops. A moderate hops bitterness evokes flavors of grapefruit, pine, orange, peach, lemon, verbena and a touch of tropical fruit.
Medium to full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel that is also resiny and sticky with hops flavors. Finishes smooth and dry. Carbonation is moderate.
Solid WCIPA with nice hops character. I would have again.

A: The beer is clear yellow in color and has some hints of orange hues along with a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin collar around the edge and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of mango, orange and pineapple are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of pine in the finish. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied, juicy and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is definitely packed with aromas and flavors of high-oil hops.
