I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club mixed pack. It poured a pale yellow with no head and no lace. The scent had apple notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with a fizzy apple wine flare. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with fizzy carbonation. Overall it is a decent beer.

This is one of the lightest beers I've ever had. That said it's not entirely a bad thing. It's super thin bodied and is reminiscent of a lightly carbonated tea.

Look: You could almost watch a movie while looking through the glass. Thin and without body. The head doesn't last and has tiny bubbles. Looks like an American adjunct later but thinner.

Smell: The smell is very green. Hop character is lovely on the nose. Reminds me a bit of nettle tea. Definitely the high point of the beer. This is where the dry-hopping is shown off.

Taste: Starts off with a gentle hop flavor with almost no bitterness. The hop flavor quickly dissipates and rests into the lingering edge of a wheat beer. Flavor floats on the center of the tongue but never quite lands.

Feel: Just as light and empty as it appears.

Overall: This is a more developed version of a light American adjunct but it doesn't do enough to distinguish itself to be memorable. I'd take it over a Coors Light any day, but it's definitely targeting the same audience. If you don't like be but green tea is your jam then this is the beer for you.
