A hazy, double dry-hopped pale ale with little to no bitterness but lots of tropical fruit flavors. Massive amounts of flaked oats and oat malt, along with fermentation with a British ale yeast, give this beer a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. All hops are added in the whirlpool, and then we finish with two huge dry hop additions for a full-bodied and fruity pint.

From the can, it pours a hazy yellow color. A foamy head displays amazing retention as well as sudsy lacing.
Nice hops forward aromas, bright, pithy and herbal. There are citrusy notes of lemon, lime and grapefruit, as well as hints of peach. There is also a semi pungent touch of grassy and resiny aromas.
Sweet biscuity and creamy malts support fruity hops flavors, including notes of grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, peach and apricot. There is a minimal touch of bitterness but enough piney and resiny spices to balance things out. The finish is smooth and creamy.
Medium bodied with a creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Very well balanced between malt and juicy hops, as well as a dryness that aids drinkability. The carbonation is moderate to gentle.
A finely crafted, well hopped and balanced Pale Ale. It was crushable.

Pours a hazy yellow with lacing which stays throughout. Tasty fruit of oranges,lime. For me, a dry finish that’s a little tad bitter. It’s had a smooth carbonation. Taste of various fruits with a touch of spice. Almost bubbles up in the mouth. I enjoyed the more I got use to it. I like it.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that settled down and left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose—limes seem to stand out particular along with hints of oranges.
T: The taste follows the smell and has moderate flavors of lime citrus along with notes of oranges. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and faintly smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really enjoyed the aromas and flavors of limes in this beer as well as its lighter body and somewhat smooth mouthfeel from the use of flaked oats. It is very easy to drink and yet quite tasty.
