A: The beer is rather hazy and a bit pale yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high white head that has good retention properties and left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of lime are present in the nose along with notes of mango and pineapple.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of citrusy and tropical fruits. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and quite juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is both flavorful and juicy (like a New England IPA) but also has exceptional drinkability given its lighter-bodied nature as a pale ale.
Serving type: can

L: Light golden color. Nice hazy appearance. A standard pour yielded about 2 fingers of a stark white cap that retained nicely. Moderate amounts of residual lacing form as I partake.
S: Lemon upfront, with a florally and yeasty undertones. Not a great deal going on smell-wise, but it is simple and straight-forward.
T: Lemon, apricot, melon, and grapefruit are the majority of what I feel. Slight black pepper flavor on the finish with lingering lemongrass presence. Really nice tasting brew.
F: Medium in body, light to medium in weight. Great feel for a beer in this style.
O: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I am really loving NEPAs. The low abv and the great feel and flavor is really winning with me. I am very grateful to have tried this brew. Plus, what a neat looking can. Cheers!
