T: slightly earthy, tropical, citrus tasting beer with lemongrass malts; slightly earthy finish.
M: light bodied and a little thin, but still good.
O: nice mouthfeel and taste combination; nice drinking beer overall.

Nice hoppy flavor, light citrus, with a light bitter hop bite on the finish. Appropriate carbonation. Overall a very nice hoppy pale ale, well executed.

a: super hazy orange, copper, and burnt yellow color. pours a 2 finger fizzy white head that fades too quickly
s: orange juice, creamsicles, sweet citrus, and crackers. mango, pineapple, peach, and something sweet like vanilla. a touch of some earthy grass. sweet at the close
t: follows the nose very well. orange juice and creamsicle upfront. mango, peach cobbler, and sweet lemons. a little bit of bitterness from grapefruit. more orange juice at the close. a lot of flavor in here for 5.4%
m: fluffy, almost chewy medium mouthfeel with low carbonation
o: this is a really nice Pale Ale. great combination of hops, and very flavorful and easy to drink, especially for a hazy beer

Can to snifter.
LOOK: dark yellow, mildly hazy, but also just a more solid color not letting light through easily. Medium off white head, good retention.
AROMA: soft citrus, pineapple and coconut. very nice. I notice later in the tasting that the coconut is becoming less strong. Initially attributed to warming, but it comes back if the head is reinvigorated.
TASTE: same citrus, pineapple as above, coconut is barely hanging in there in the taste. I also get some light sappy pine and grape.
FEEL: light to medium body. light carbonation. pillowy smoothness.
Another good Icarus brew. Maybe middling or slightly below middling for them, but pretty darn good in general.
