Soft, hazy pale ale brewed with NY-state malt and Mosaic hops; dry-hopped with Citra & Cashmere. Aroma bursting with tangerine peel and tropical fruit. Juicy flavors reminiscent of a pineapple, ripe oranges, kiwi & honeydew.

Packed w flavor for 5.2% ABV.
a) Tired of the milkshake clouds, but this one pale yellow does lace to the max.
s) Floral, a bit of pine, lemongrass, herbs.
t) Follows aroma adding pepper and spice.
f) Clean, crisp, drying finish.
o) Which I could close my eyes as I prefer a clear coppery beer with lasting head. But tastey and flavorful.

Pours a hazy yellow orange color. A modest head rapidly dissipates to yield a thin layer of of film.
Fruity and herbal nose that highlights mostly citrusy and resiny hops. Aromas of grapefruit, orange, lemon and lime. Herbal notes of verbena, pine and grass.
In the taste, clean and crisp cracker malts, a bit of biscuit and creamy oats make up the base. Flavored by pithy and citrusy flavors, evoked by bright notes of grapefruit, lime and orange. Well balanced by a clean moderate bitterness that brings forth earthy spices, peppery and piney.
Medium body with a mouthfeel that’s between smooth and crisp. The palate is dry overall, with a dry finish yielding prickly hops flavors. The carbonation is moderate.
Solid Pale Ale, finely balanced and easy to drink. I would have again.
