Drank from a 16 ounce can purchased at the brewery.
Appearance: very hazy amber with a good 1” head which subsidizes after a few minutes and good lacing.
Smell: fresh, earthy mild hops.
Taste: malty, mild hops and smooth.
Mouth Feel: finely carbonated, medium-full feel, smooth.
A good brew.

Sample at the kickoff party at Hombrewcon
Hazy cloudy neon yellow with a bunch of floaties in it and not much of a head. Earthy grassy with bits of citrus tropical and pine gritty mouth. Not too bad.

Had this on tap at Union Station Brewery.
Citrus on the nose.
Very mellow hop flavor up front which fades to citrus after taste.
Light and refreshing tasting. Good summer beer.

Hazy, naturally. Dirty gold color. Small head and little lace.
Weedy hop aroma.
Hop dominance but with a lightly toasted malt base. Elevated rich body. Higher carbonation as well. Shorter aftertaste than I expected but still hoppy.
